お plus

こんにちは

I’m not sure if it’s grammar related or vocab related, and I couldn’t find anything in the search for grammar. And nothing definitive in Vocab. All I know is that it’s an honorific?

Anyway, I’m curious about the use of お as sometimes I’ll see it attached to words or not. I would guess it’s related to Keigo usage, but wondering if anyone has a link or info related to it. It almost seems like a particle? or like a prefix? Like if I said I had tea at the temple, would it get used in front of both tea and temple if I was using polite speech? What about if I was using casual?

Thank you for the ToFuGu link looks like exactly what I was looking for. Bunpro didn’t mention お and seems kind of sparse in comparison.
