Surface Forms

premade singular
premades plural

Morphology

premade = premade (semi-transparent) = pre + made

The form is still clearly based on 'pre-' + 'made', but the gaming-team noun is a specialized lexicalized use rather than a fully general everyday noun meaning.

Etymology

Premade in games comes from the parts pre- 'before' and made 'made', and it means a team that was 'made before' the match so the players join as a group rather than as strangers.
