Coming before the beginning or initial stage; preceding the first occurrence of something.
From 'ante-' (before) combined with 'initial' (first), creating a term that describes something occurring even before what we'd consider the starting point.
Anteinitial perfectly captures that moment before the 'ready, set, go'—the anticipation and preparation that determines whether you'll win the race.
