Morphology

presubmission = submission (transparent) = pre + submit + ion

Adding 'pre-' to 'submission' straightforwardly gives the meaning 'before submission'.

Etymology

Presubmission is built from pre- 'before' and submission, from submit which means 'send in' or 'give'. As a noun, a presubmission is the 'stage' or 'step' you take before you formally send in an application or document.
