Morphology

prescore = score (transparent) = pre + score

The verb is transparently formed by adding pre- to 'score' with the meaning 'score beforehand'.

Etymology

The verb prescore comes from pre- 'before' plus score 'to give points', so to prescore something is to give an early score before the official one, often to speed up the final decision.
