premake

Construct in advance

To premake something is to make it in advance, before the time it will be used or needed: We premade the appetizers so we could enjoy the party.

The word appears often in cooking and event planning, where preparation ahead of time saves stress.

Premade as an adjective describes things already assembled: premade pie crusts, premade templates.
