Morphology
prerestoration = restoration (transparent) = pre + restore + ation
The prefix 'pre-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'before' to 'restoration'.
Etymology
Prerestoration combines the prefix pre- 'before' (as in prepare) with restoration 'repair or return to good condition', so it refers to the cleaning and other preparatory work done before the main restoration begins.
