prefixes - What is a prefix that means near?
For instance, if I were to describe someone as being *near-*carnivorous, I'm have the goal of depicting them as being a heavy meat eater that includes very few forms of non-meat based food in their diet as opposed to being one who exclusively consumes meat.
Answer
I'm very much in favour of quasi- for this purpose, but near serves the purpose, as does mostly.
Quasi- used to show that something is almost, but not completely, the thing described http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/quasi?q=quasi
