Morphology

presurgical = surgical (semi-transparent) = pre + surg + ic + al

The meaning is directly and predictably formed from 'surgical' with the common prefix 'pre-' meaning 'before'.

Etymology

Presurgical is made of pre- meaning 'before' and surgical, from surgery meaning 'medical operation'. So presurgical describes something that happens or is done 'before' a surgical operation.
