覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
単数形 preorder に複数語尾 -s を付けた形で、語末は /z/ と発音します。pre-「前もって」＋ orders「注文」と分ければ、発売前に入れる複数の注文だと分かります。place preorders、accept preorders、preorders open のような販売表現と一緒に覚えます。
Break preorders into pre-, meaning before, and orders, meaning requests to buy something. The word is the plural of preorder, formed by adding -s; its final sound is /z/. Imagine customers reserving a new book, game, camera, or album before its release date. Useful combinations include “place preorders,” “accept preorders,” “preorders open,” and “receive hundreds of preorders.” A preorder is an actual advance order, while a reservation may merely hold an item or place without necessarily completing a purchase.

preorders の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語の接頭辞 prae-（前もって）と ordo（順序・配列）の組み合わせ。pre-は predict（予測）や prepare（準備）にも見られ、「事前に順序立てて確保する」が原義。order自体も ordinal（序数）と同根。
Preorders is the plural of preorder, a transparent English formation combining the prefix pre-, meaning before or in advance, with order. Pre- ultimately comes from Latin prae, while order comes through French from Latin ordo, meaning arrangement, sequence, or rank. In modern retail language, preorder denotes an order made before release or availability; the plural ending -s indicates more than one such order.
