The Pre- Prefix

Some words beginning with the pre- prefix are related. Take preempt as an example: 


  preempt 

  preemption

  preemptive 

  preemptor
All these words have to do with "having the right to do or get something before others." They are just different forms of the same word and all have the pre- prefix at the beginning.

Here are a few more examples before we continue on. 


	preconceive		predial

	preamble		prehistoric

	precognition		premed

	prehensile		premolar
