Etymologie (Englisch)

Geerbt von Mittelenglisch: preposicioun

Verwandt mit Französisch: préposition

In summary

From Middle English preposicioun, from Old French preposicion, from Latin praepositio, praepositionem, from praepono (“to place before”), equivalent to pre- + position. Compare French préposition. So called because it is placed before the word with which it is phrased, as in a bridge of iron, he comes from town, it is good for food, he escaped by running.
