pro and con
Pro and con dont just mean "for" and "against". That would be too easy.
As prefixes, pro sometimes means "before" and con often means "with". Here are some pros and cons that show there's no arguing with the sheer variety of the English language.
1) protract(pro-'trakt) v---
A: draw up a legal document
B: stick out
C: lengthen
