Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Formed in American English as a compounding of the prefix 'pre-' (from Latin prae-, meaning 'before') and the noun 'game'. Originally used in sports journalism during the mid-20th century to describe events preceding an athletic match, its meaning broadened in late 20th-century youth slang to refer to social drinking or gathering before attending a party or event.
