21a. Tragi ... definition of tragi by Medical dictionary
https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/tragi
tragi: ( trā'jī ), 1. Plural of tragus. 2. The hairs growing at the entrance to the external acoustic meatus.
...my hint for the theme is misleading (sorry) the unclued entries lead to synonyms which have the same 4 letter prefix. The entries haven't any thematic connection other than that - if you have Chambers look at words following on from the 4 letter word, there aren't very many.
thanks-still stuck on prefix
