prearrangement
Planning done beforehand
Prearrangement is something arranged or agreed upon in advance.
The word often appears in contexts where planning ahead matters: funeral prearrangement lets people specify their wishes before death, and prearrangement of travel ensures logistics are settled before departure.
The prefix signals that the arranging happened before some relevant event or deadline.
