Morphology

preregistration = registration (transparent) = pre + register + ation

Adding 'pre-' to 'registration' clearly gives the meaning of registration done beforehand.

Etymology

Preregistration comes from pre- meaning 'before' and register meaning 'to sign up' or 'to put on a list'. So preregistration is signing up before the start or deadline to save your place.
