Perhaps you're thinking of something else? Could you clarify what you mean by "prefix act"? For example, are you thinking about:
* The effect a prefix has on a word's meaning? Prefixes *change* a word's meaning, but this is a description of their function, not an "act."
* A specific prefix in a particular context? If you can provide an example, it would be easier to understand what you mean.
* Something else entirely? Perhaps you're using the term in a non-standard or specialized way.
