prequel

Beginner 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

A contamination i.e. a failed portmanteau. Comes from "pre"+"sequel" of which the latter in turn comes from Latin, "sequela"; "what follows". Therefore it is a non-word à la new/memespeak, as "quel" does not mean anything in any known language and thus "pre"+"quel" means nothing either.

Example Usage

Melvin: "Have you seen the prequel to »The Hangover»?"
Bob: "Have I seen what to WHAT?"
