planned in advance
Etymology
'preemptively-arranged' originates from the combination of 'preemptive' and 'arranged'. 'Preemptive' comes from Latin 'praeemptus', meaning 'to buy before', and 'arranged' from Old French 'arangier', meaning 'to set in order'.
'Preemptive' evolved from Latin 'praeemptus' through Middle English, while 'arranged' evolved from Old French 'arangier' to modern English 'arrange'.
Initially, 'preemptive' meant 'to buy before', but over time it evolved to mean 'acting in anticipation to prevent an event'. 'Arranged' has largely retained its meaning of 'set in order'.
