• beforehand, in advance;

Usage in Korean

In Korean usage, 예 (豫) appears in words such as:

예방 (豫防) – prevention

예정 (豫定) – schedule, being fixed in advance

예비 (豫備) – preparation, reserve

예견 (豫見) – foresight

Thus, in Korean it is strongly tied to the sense of “preparation” or “advance,” whereas in Chinese it retains a stronger association with “pleasure” or “delight.”

Derived characters

For the sense of “in advance,” Chinese more commonly uses the interchangeable character 預 (simplified 预).
