The prefix "a" means not or against. No the prefix "a" does not meant against....the prefix for against or opposing to is contra The prefix "a" just means, without, lacking or not. This is different because of such: Amoral would mean to have the exact opposite morals ie thinking doing good things is bad and bad things good. When infact amoral just means, to not think anything is bad.

The prefix "a-" typically means "not" or "without." It is commonly used in English to form words with a negative or opposite meaning, such as "asymmetrical" (not symmetrical) or "amoral" (lacking moral principles).
