Morphology

preconfirmation = confirmation (transparent) = pre + confirm + ation

The meaning is straightforwardly derived as a confirmation given before a later official or final stage.

Etymology

The word preconfirmation joins pre- meaning 'before' and confirm meaning 'to make sure'. So a preconfirmation is a 'confirmation' sent before the final approval, a helpful early sign but not the official yes.
