Morphology
preinstall = preinstall (semi-transparent) = pre + install
The noun is clearly related to the verb 'preinstall', but its specific meaning as the software itself rather than the act is a specialized result reading.
Etymology
Preinstall joins pre- 'before' and install 'to put software on a device'. So a preinstall is software put on a phone or computer before you get it, which is why it is already there when you first turn the device on.
