Morphology
precorrection = correction (transparent) = pre + correct + ion
The meaning is a straightforward instance of a correction or compensating adjustment made before the expected problem occurs.
Etymology
Precorrection comes from the part pre- which means 'before' and correct which means 'to make right'. So a precorrection is a 'correction before' — an early adjustment to data, images, or equipment to fix expected errors.
