I was thinking, why is more than one prefix called "prefixes."
Wouldn't it be correct to call them "prefaces"? Does that mean that the word "preface" came before "prefix," since it's plural overrides the rules that would give "prefix" the same plural form?

on those same lines: 'cherry' - i mean, who came up with that crazy word?
I'm not sure why one would pluralize prefix as prefaces. Is this an analogy on appendix/appendices? If so, it would be prefices, not prefaces. Next question.
Regarding cherry--I think they can take that one back to Proto-Indo-European. Of course, it's only natural for cherries and PIE to go together.
