Etymology
'pre-enrollment' originates from the prefix 'pre-' meaning 'before' and the word 'enrollment' from Old French 'enroller', meaning 'to enroll'.
'enroller' transformed into the English word 'enroll', and eventually became 'enrollment' with the addition of the suffix '-ment'.
Initially, 'enroll' meant 'to enter a list', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'registering or signing up for a course or institution'.
