“how’s studying going?” “i’ve just completed three days of prevision”
noun; compound of prefix ‘pre’ and noun ‘revision’.
a form of panicked revision which takes place in the days and hours before an exam. good old-fashioned revision becomes prevision when the “revisor” comes across a completely unfamiliar topic their teacher has neglected to mention prior to this point. hence the student is not revising -revisiting- a subject but frantically trying to learn and revise it all at once.
verb; to previse.
