preprepared
Made well beforehand
Preprepared means prepared in advance, with the prefix adding emphasis to what's already implied by prepared.
The word appears in contexts where the advance preparation matters: preprepared meals, preprepared remarks.
Critics consider it redundant, but it persists in cooking and public speaking contexts where distinguishing advance preparation from last-minute work is useful.
