precorrection = correction (semi-transparent) = pre + correct + ion
The form suggests a correction given beforehand, but this specialized sense refers to a preventive prompt rather than an actual correction of an error.
Etymology
Precorrection comes from pre- meaning 'before' and correct meaning 'to make right'. So a precorrection is a prompt or action given in advance to help people avoid mistakes or unwanted behavior.
