EP(I)=“(up)on(在…上),above(在…上),in addition to(除…之外),toward(朝…方向), among(在…中间),against(反方向)

前缀EPI-的主要意思是"on, upon, above," also "in addition to; toward, among,"来自希腊文epi "upon, at, close upon (in space or time), on the occasion of(值此…之际), in addition,"原始印欧语系词根记载是*epi, *opi"near, at, against”(与其同源的拉丁文ob "toward, against, in the way of(妨碍);”希腊文opi- “behind;”); 另外请注意: epi-一般不表示“向下”。
