Morphology
predeliberation = deliberation (transparent) = pre + deliber + ation
The prefix 'pre-' adds the regular meaning 'before' to 'deliberation', so the sense 'deliberation beforehand' is readily inferable.
Etymology
Predeliberation starts with pre-, which means 'before', and ends with deliberation, from a root meaning 'to weigh' or 'think carefully'. So a predeliberation is a short time or meeting for thinking and talking about something 'before' the final decision.
