Etymology
'preconfigure' originates from the prefix 'pre-' meaning 'before' and the word 'configure' from Latin 'configurare', where 'con-' meant 'together' and 'figurare' meant 'to shape'.
'preconfigure' evolved from the Latin 'configurare' through Middle English 'configure', eventually becoming the modern English word 'preconfigure'.
Initially, it meant 'to shape together before', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'setting up in advance'.
