köken: Inherited from Old French precedent, borrowed from Latin praecedentem. Attested earlier than the verb précéder, which is possibly a back-formation.
C'est que, rompant avec l'imitation des siècles précédents, ils retournent à l'éternelle inspiratrice, à la nature . . .
köken: Present participle of προηγούμαι (proïgoúmai), a verb without active forms. Also substantivised. From Ancient Greek προηγούμενος (proēgoúmenos), present participle of προηγέομαι / προηγοῦμαι (proēgoûmai).
Ο προηγούμενος είπε ότι οι ερωτήσεις της προφορικής εξέτασης ήταν δύσκολες.

köken: Reflects Proto-Indo-European *h₂énti-h₃kʷ-o-s (literally “facing the front”), from the same roots whence ante (“in front of”) and oculus (“eye”). Compare Sanskrit अन्तिक (antiká, “near, in the vicinity; nearness, proximity”) and Proto-Nuristani *ãtika, which are however derived from *h₂enti-kó-s, with diminutive suffix. Adjective sense 5 could be a calque of Ancient Greek πρέσβυς (présbus).
