Morphology
prenotification = notification (transparent) = pre + notifi + cation
The prefix 'pre-' straightforwardly adds the meaning 'before' to 'notification', giving 'notification in advance'.
Etymology
Prenotification is built from pre- ('before') and notification ('a message that tells someone'). Think of it as a 'before message' or advance notice that warns or tells you something will happen, which is exactly what a prenotification does.
