Today's word was inadvertently suggested by Ameriscot who used the word in a comment yesterday.
prequel
[pree-kwuh l]
noun
1. a literary, dramatic, or filmic work that prefigures a later work, as by portraying the same characters at a younger age.
What surprised me about the word is that despite the fact that it serves a very legitimate purpose, prior to 1970 the word didn't exist. How did people make do describing prequels before that date?
