Root Explanation

Prebaking → It is formed from "pre-" (meaning before) and "bake" (from Old English "bacan", meaning to cook by dry heat). The word "prebaking" means to bake something before it is used or finished cooking.

Memory Tip

Think of doing something 'before' ('pre-') you 'cook' ('bacan') it — that's why prebaking means to bake something in advance.
