multi-
More than one
Multi- is a prefix meaning many or more than one: multicultural, multimedia, multitasking.
It attaches freely to nouns and adjectives to indicate plurality or variety: a multi-step process, multi-generational housing.
The hyphen is standard before vowels and in new combinations but often drops in established words: multitude, multiply, multiple.
