Best Answer

A story that's written before another story, that shares some characters with that other story, and that takes place before that other story is what a 'prequel' is. The word in English comes from the joining of the Latin prefix 'pre-' to the Latin noun 'sequel'. The syllable 'pre-' means 'before'. The word 'sequel' means 'something which follows'.
