Etymology
Unknown origin. Suggested derivations include a contraction of praesecāre, a compound of prae- (“before, in front”) + secāre (“to cut, to cut off”), interpreted as either “to cut off early” – referring to its harvesting during the autumn for early winter food – or as “to cut off the head”, attested in the latter sense in a Plautus comedy.
