Morphology

preclinical = clinical (transparent) = pre + clinic + al

The meaning is directly 'before the clinical stage', which straightforwardly yields 'before testing or use in humans' in medical research.

Etymology

Preclinical combines pre- ('before') and clinical ('clinic' or 'clinical trial', meaning tests on people). So, preclinical describes the research done 'before' tests on people, for example experiments in labs or on animals.
