Morphology

prepunched = prepunch (transparent) = pre + punch + ed

This is a straightforward participial adjective formed from the verb 'prepunch', with the ordinary resultative meaning 'having been prepunched'.

Etymology

Prepunched comes from the prefix pre- 'before' and punch 'to make a hole', like a 'hole punch'. So something prepunched has its holes or slots made in advance to save time when you use it.
