Root Explanation

Preschedule → It is formed from "pre-" (meaning before) and "schedule" (from Old French *escheduel*, meaning a list or timetable). The word "preschedule" means to schedule something before a certain time or event.

Memory Tip

Think of 'pre-' meaning before, and 'schedule' as a list of planned events — so preschedule means to plan something before it happens.
