Morphology

preregistered = preregister (transparent) = pre + register + ed

The adjective is a regular past-participial form of the verb 'preregister' and directly means 'registered in advance'.

Etymology

The word preregistered breaks into pre- meaning 'before' and register meaning 'to write your name or record something'. So, preregistered means 'registered in advance' — your name was written down before the event, which is why preregistered people are allowed in.
