詞義搭配

previous foregoing preceding prior former

這些形容詞均可表示“在前的”之意。

previous:previous指時間上、順序上較早的,或指正在談論的某事的前一個。

foregoing:foregoing指前所述的,是following的反義詞。

preceding:preceding特指時間和地位上緊接在前。

prior:prior與previous同義,常可換用,但prior有時強調更大的重要性,對比意味強。

former:former系latter的反義詞,比prior更著重對比。

詞源搭配

1625年進入英語,直接源自拉丁語的prvius:pr (之)前 + via (路),意為之前的路。
