The word "preview" derives from the combination of two Latin roots: "pre" meaning "before" and "videre" meaning "to see". In Latin, "praevideō" was a verb that meant "to see beforehand" or "to foresee". The term evolved in Middle English as "preveyen" and later transformed into "preveuwen". Eventually, it further developed into "preview" in modern English and came to refer to an advance or preliminary showing of something, such as a film, play, or product, to allow people to see it before its official release.
