Did you read the new book by that famous author?

Not yet, but I heard the prefacer really sets the scene well.

I love when a good prefacer makes me excited to read the rest.

Root Explanation

Prefacer → It is formed from "pre-" (meaning before) and "facere" (meaning to do or make). A prefacer is someone who makes or does something before the main content, typically introducing it.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who 'does' ('facere') something 'before' ('pre-') the main event — that's why a prefacer introduces what comes next.
