Word origin

The word 'prerequisite' originated from the Latin word 'praerequisitum', which means something required beforehand. It entered the English language in the mid-19th century, derived from the combination of 'pre-' (before) and 'requisite' (necessary). The concept of prerequisites has been essential in education and various fields to ensure individuals have the necessary skills or knowledge before progressing to more advanced levels.
