Etymology
'preemptively-designed' originates from the combination of 'preemptive' and 'design,' where 'preemptive' means 'to act in advance to prevent something.'
'Preemptive' comes from the Latin word 'praeemere,' meaning 'to buy before,' and 'design' from the Latin 'designare,' meaning 'to mark out.'
Initially, 'preemptive' meant 'to buy before others,' but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'acting in advance to prevent something.'
