The word “post,” as in “Post Office,” “postal worker” and the like (as well as the verb phrase “to post a letter”) harks back to the Medieval origins of the postal service in Europe. It comes from the Latin “ponere,” meaning “to place,” and referred to the placing or “posting” of the riders along the route.
In most instances, a hyphen is not needed to connect the prefixes post and pre to words. Samantha and Rick attended prenatal classes before the birth of their first child….pre, post
post- a prefix, meaning “behind,” “after,” “later,” “subsequent to,” “posterior to,” occurring originally in loanwords from Latin (postscript), but now used freely in the formation of compound words (post-Elizabethan; postfix; postgraduate; postorbital).
As prepositions the difference between post and pre is that post is after; especially after a significant event that has long-term ramifications while pre is before (something significant).

a prefix occurring originally in loanwords from Latin, where it meant “before” (preclude; prevent); applied freely as a prefix, with the meanings “prior to,” “in advance of,” “early,” “beforehand,” “before,” “in front of,” and with other figurative meanings (preschool; prewar; prepay; preoral; prefrontal).

Prefixes change the meanings of words. For example, the prefix un- (or u-n) can mean “not,” “remove,” or “opposite.” Adding un- to the word “happy” gives you the word “unhappy,” which means not happy. U-n and r-e (or re-) are the two most common prefixes in the English language.
e.g. The word ‘happy’ ends in ‘py’. When you add the suffix ‘ness’, change the ‘y’ to ‘i’ to make the word happiness: happy + ness = happiness.
