释义

A prefix added to words to mean 'many' or 'more than one'; also sometimes used alone in informal contexts to mean something has several parts or aspects.

Mostly used as a prefix (e.g., 'multicolored', 'multinational'). In spoken informal English, sometimes shortened to just 'multi' to refer to anything with many kinds or parts, but this is casual. Do not use 'multi' alone in formal writing.
