Etymology of PRECEDING
The word preceding comes from the verb proceed, which has its roots in the Latin word procedere. Procedere is a combination of the Latin prefix pro, meaning forward, and the verb cedere, meaning to go or to yield. Over time, the prefix pro shifted to pre, giving us the word preceding. Thus, preceding literally means going forward or coming before.
