pre-arrange
Set up early
Pre-arrange means to arrange in advance, setting up details before they're needed: We pre-arranged a meeting point in case we got separated.
The word emphasizes planning ahead rather than leaving things to chance or last-minute coordination.
A pre-arranged signal is one agreed upon beforehand; a pre-arranged marriage has been negotiated by families before the couple meets.
