Root Explanation

Preunion → It is formed from "pre-" (meaning before) and "union" (from Latin "unio", meaning unity or oneness). The word "preunion" refers to a state or event that occurs before a union or coming together.

Memory Tip

Think of 'pre-' meaning before and 'union' meaning coming together — so preunion is something that happens before a coming together.
