Prem or prim... can be a prefix for primative or premature
Answered by Writeacher
The prefixes aren't "prem-" or "prim-" -- it's "pre-"

Look up pre*

"prim-" as a prefix will lead you nowhere. "Primary" and "primitive" are two words with "prim" at the beginning, but it's not a prefix; it's part of the root word, from <i>primus</i> in Latin:
