The word “prequel” has only existed since 1958, when it was coined by writer Anthony Boucher. Prequel is a “back-formation” without a Latin root. Source: Mother Jones.
With JB’s permission, it’d be pretty cool to have a dedicated thread to the topic, “Today I Learned.” I find this forum to be one of the more interesting repositories of random factoids. Perhaps there’d be an interest in others sharing their own, barring any which rely on links to Wikipedia?
