Morphology

precompensation = compensation (transparent) = pre + compensat + ion

Adding 'pre-' to 'compensation' straightforwardly gives the meaning of compensation or corrective adjustment done beforehand.

Etymology

Precompensation comes from the prefix pre- meaning 'before' and compensation meaning 'to make up for' or 'correct', just like in the word compensate. So, precompensation is the act of making a correction or adjustment in advance to improve something before a problem happens.
