primes
Coaches a witness
Primes functions as both noun and verb.
The noun refers to prime numbers—integers greater than one that are divisible only by themselves and one—a fundamental concept in mathematics and cryptography.
More broadly, a prime is the best or most vigorous stage of something: in the prime of life.
The verb means to prepare something for use or action: you prime a pump, prime a surface before painting, or prime someone with information before a meeting.
