When To Use
With- is a combining form used like a prefix meaning “separation from†or "against." It is occasionally used in a variety of everyday terms.With- comes from Old English with, meaning “away,†“against,†or "refuse," the very same with which eventually, and surprisingly, evolved in meaning into its current sense of “together, accompanied†in present-day English. The Latin equivalent of with is ³¦´Ç²Ô³Ù°ùÄå, meaning “against,†which is the source of English terms such as contradict and contravene. To learn more, check out our entries for both words.
