词源
from Latin praeter 'past， beyond'.
preter-, præter-, prefix|ˈpriːtə(r)|The L. adv. and prep. præter past, by, beyond, above, more than; in addition to, besides; comparative of præ before, = further forward, more in front.1. In Latin præter adv. was prefixed only to verbs and their derivative ns. and adjs., as prætercurrĕre to run by or past, prætergredī to step or march past, to surpass, præterīre to go or pass by, omit, pass over, pass away (in time), præteriens passing, præteritus past, præteritio a passing by or over, præterlābī to glide or slip by, prætermittĕre to let go by, omit, overlook, prætermissio omission, etc. Hence the Eng. pretergress, -gression, preterient, preterite, -ition, pretermit, -mission, etc., and the analogous pretergeneration, preteroffice.2. In Scholastic Latin, adjectives began to be formed from L. phrases with præter prep. + n., e.g. præternātūrālis, from præter nātūram (Cic.) beyond or outside nature; Du Cange has of 1451 præternecessārius, from quod præter necessārium est what is beyond the necessary. Hence French préternaturel 15.., Eng. preternatural a 1600, followed in the 17th c. by preternotorious, -native, -regular, -royal, -legal, -intentional, -scriptural, -seasonable, etc.; preterhuman, -nuptial, -sensual, etc. are 19th c. formations. From these adjs., adverbs and nouns of quality, as preternaturally, preternaturalism, are always possible; preterplurality follows this analogy.All the derivatives from words already in Latin, with the more important adjs., appear in their places as Main words; those of less importance (many only nonce-words) follow here.preterˈcanine a., more than canine. preter-ˈChristian a., beyond what is Christian; lying outside Christianity. preterdeˈtermined a., more than determined; hence preterdeˈterminedly adv. preterdiploˈmatic a., lying outside of or not within the bounds of diplomacy; hence preterdiploˈmatically adv. preterˈequine a., more than equine. pretereroˈgation, nonce-wd. [after supererogation], performance beyond or outside of what is demanded or required. pretereˈssential a., beyond what is essential. pretergeneˈration, preternatural generation, monstrous birth. preterinˈtentional a., beyond or additonal to what is intended. preterˈlethal a., taking place after death. preterˈnative a., beyond or additional to what is native. preternoˈtorious a., surpassingly notorious. preterˈnuptial a., lying outside of the nuptial relation. preterˈoffice, an action contrary to duty: cf. office n. 2 a. preterpluˈrality, excessive numerousness or multitude. preterpoˈlitical a., lying outside of what is political or civil. preter-ˈregular a., outside the limits of what is regular. preter-ˈroyal a., more than royal privilege warrants. preterˈscriptural a., beyond what is written. preterˈseasonable a., beyond what is seasonable. preterˈsensual a., beyond the domain of the senses; preterˈsensuous a. = pretersensual adj.1847C.
