These have a prefix to make the antonym: unhappy, impolite, unclean, uneasy, unkind and unafraid. These can have the suffix 'ish', meaning fairly or moderately : shortish, tallish, largish, latish, oldish, and youngish.

Mr genuineWhich of the following adjectives has any suffix or prefix?

One-syllable adjectives cannot have a prefix or suffix, because these affixes usually add one or more syllables to the root word. The only ones with 2 syllables are afraid and alone. "A-" is a prefix, (apolitical, amoral) but not in these words.
