Etymology

Etymology Information

'pre-evaluate' originates from the prefix 'pre-' meaning 'before' and the verb 'evaluate' from Latin 'ēvaluāre', where 'ē-' meant 'out' and 'valēre' meant 'to be strong or worth'.

Historical Evolution

'ēvaluāre' transformed into the French word 'évaluer', and eventually became the modern English word 'evaluate'. The prefix 'pre-' was added to form 'pre-evaluate'.

Meaning Changes

Initially, 'evaluate' meant 'to assess the value or worth of something', and 'pre-evaluate' extends this meaning to imply doing so beforehand.
