Etymology of PREVENTING

The word "preventing" derives from the Latin word "praeventus", which is the past participle of the verb "praeventire". In Latin, "prae" means "before" or "in front", while "venire" means "to come". Therefore, "praeventire" signifies "to come before", "to anticipate", or "to hinder". From Latin, the term made its way into Old French as "preventer", and eventually, the English word "preventing" emerged.
