socio
Prefix meaning society
Socio is informal shorthand for sociopath—someone with antisocial personality disorder who lacks empathy and disregards others' rights.
The clipped form appears mostly in casual speech and online: My ex was a total socio.
It can be hyperbolic, applied loosely to anyone perceived as cold or manipulative.
