refectory ante-room [or lobby, vestibule, etc.]

Il prefisso anti- in Italiano può provenire dal Latino ante- o dal Greco antì-. A seconda dell'origine latina o greca il prefisso assume diverso significato.

Prefissi di tipo spazio-temporale
Ante-, anti-, pre-
Ante- e anti- derivano dal latino ANTE- “davanti” indicano perciò qualcosa che viene prima di qualcos’altro
(ante-guerra, anti-pasto, ecc.). Pre- deriva dal latino PRE- “davanti”, ha un significato simile ad ante- (pre-
bellico).

Contro-, contra-, anti-
Contro- e contra- derivano dal latino CONTRA, mentre anti- deriva dal greco antì “contro”. Indicano
opposizione, antagonismo. Contro-corrente, contra-ccolpo, anti-droga, anti-allergico
