apo-, - a prefix occurring originally in loanwords from Greek, where it was joined to verbs, deverbal forms, and other parts of speech. Among its functions in Greek, apo- has the spatial sense "away, off, apart'' (apogee;
apocope;
apostasy;
apostrophe);
it occurs with deverbals that denote a response or defense (apodosis;
apology) and is found on verbs having perfective force relative to a corresponding simple verb (apoplexy;
aposiopesis). In modern scientific coinages in English and other languages, apo- marks things that are detached, separate, or derivative (apocarpous;
apoenzyme).
