PREAPPLY Meaning and
Definition
-
Preapply is a verb that refers to the action of completing an application or registration process prior to the designated start date or deadline. It involves submitting necessary documentation or personal information in advance, often to secure a favorable position, status, or advantage for future consideration. This term encompasses a range of contexts such as academic admissions, job applications, government programs, or financial aid.
In educational settings, preapplying generally implies completing an application procedure earlier than the typical date, giving applicants extra time to prepare and potentially increasing their chances of acceptance. This may involve submitting preliminary forms or letters of intent, highlighting an individual's interest and commitment to pursue the opportunity. Similarly, in the professional world, preapplying for a job or internship entails submitting an application or resume before the official application period, aiming to stand out among potential candidates.
Preapplying can also pertain to government programs or benefits where individuals express their interest or register ahead of the official application process. This allows for early consideration, better planning, and potential advantages, particularly in situations with limited slots or high demand.
Overall, preapply involves taking proactive measures by getting ahead of the formal process, ensuring preparedness, and potentially enhancing prospects or opportunities in various domains.
Etymology of PREAPPLY
The word "preapply" is a combination of the prefix "pre-" and the verb "apply". The etymology of "apply" can be traced back to the Latin word "applicare", which means "to attach" or "to put on". Over time, "apply" developed the meaning of directing, employing, or utilizing something for a particular purpose.
Here, the prefix "pre-" is added to "apply" to form "preapply", which implies doing something in advance or before its usual time. The specific etymology for the word "preapply" as a whole is fairly straightforward, as it combines these two common linguistic elements to create a new word.
