Linguists are interested in studying the way in which words are constructed, with common prefixes and suffixes

Question:

Linguists are interested in studying the way in which words are constructed, with common prefixes and suffixes giving important clues to the meanings of words they are contained in. Thus, a useful tool for a linguist would be to be able to identify all the words in a given collection, W, of words, that have the same prefix, p, or suffix, s. Indeed, it is useful even to just know the number of such words in W. Describe how to build a data structure for W that can quickly answer, for any prefix, p, or suffix, s, the number of words in W that have the prefix p or suffix s. What is the performance of your method?
