[4] : The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
ex- \ex-\ e^ks.
   a prefix from the latin preposition, ex, akin to gr. 'ex or
   'ek signifying out of, out, proceeding from. hence, in
   composition, it signifies out of, as, in exhale, exclude;
   off, from, or out, as in exscind; beyond, as, in excess,
   exceed, excel; and sometimes has a privative sense of
   without, as in exalbuminous, exsanguinous. in some words, it
   intensifies the meaning; in others, it has little affect on
   the signification. it becomes ef- before f, as in effuse. the
   form e- occurs instead of ex- before b, d, g, l, m, n, r, and
   v, as in ebullient, emanate, enormous, etc. in words from the
   french it often appears as es-, sometimes as s- or 'e-; as,
   escape, scape, 'elite. ex-, prefixed to names implying
   office, station, condition, denotes that the person formerly
   held the office, or is out of the office or condition now;
   as, ex-president, ex-governor, ex-mayor, ex-wife, ex-convict.
   the greek form 'ex becomes ex in english, as in exarch; 'ek
   becomes ec, as in eccentric.
