The terms you've listed can belong to different categories based on how they are used in words. Here's a breakdown:
1. **Auto** - Prefix: It means "self." For example, in words like "automobile" or "autobiography."
2. **Arch** - Prefix or Root: It can be a prefix meaning "chief" or "leader" (as in "archenemy") or part of roots referring to ancient (as in "archaeology").
3. **Ive** - Suffix: It is used to form adjectives and indicates the nature of something (as in "active" or "creative").
4. **Ist** - Suffix: It is used to denote a person who practices or is concerned with something, often related to professions or ideologies (as in "artist" or "activist").
5. **Uni** - Prefix: It means "one" or "single," as in "unicycle" or "unified."
So, "auto," "uni" are generally prefixes; "ive" and "ist" are suffixes; "arch" can be considered both a prefix and a root depending on its use.
