lol

With a lot of words a prefix of a- means 'absence of' or 'not', e.g.:
asexual = not sexual
adipsia = absence of thirst
apraxia = absence of movement (often erroneously used for dyspraxia which means difficulty of movement)

If before a vowel, an is used, e.g.:
anurea = absence of urination
anaerobic = without/absence of oxygen
