Morphology

preplacement = placement (transparent) = pre + place + ment

Adding 'pre-' to 'placement' clearly yields the meaning of a placement carried out beforehand.

Etymology

Preplacement is built from pre- 'before' and placement 'putting in position'. Think of arranging parts on a table before the final build—this temporary arranging is preplacement, putting things in place 'before' the last step to make assembly easier.
