PREFIX ter- The prefix ter- is added to verb roots to form stative verbs. With a stative meaning-that is, roots that refer to the state of something or of a person, the prefix ter- forms a word that emphasizes the accidentally of the action by which the state came into being or that is has been possible for the state to have come into being.
