determine word meanings using known words and prefixes pre- pre- preset preheat pretest preload prewrite preview prepay prejudge prewashed preboard preplan prebaked done

Explanation:

The problem is about determining word meanings using the prefix "pre - " (meaning "before") and known root words. For example, "preheat" combines "pre - " (before) and "heat", so it means to heat before (usually for cooking). "Preview" is "pre - " + "view", meaning to view before (like a preview of a movie). This falls under Linguistics (subfield of Arts) as it deals with word structure and meaning.

Answer:

The prefix "pre - " means "before". By combining it with root words (e.g., "heat" in "preheat", "view" in "preview"), we can determine word meanings: "preheat" = heat before, "preview" = view before, etc.
