preparedare

Preparedare is not a standard entry in Latin dictionaries; it is generally treated as a misspelling or nonstandard form of the Latin infinitive preparāre, meaning “to prepare.” In Latin, preparāre is a regular first-conjugation verb used to express making ready, provisioning, or arranging something in advance. The same root appears in related words such as preparātiō, preparation, and preparātus, prepared, depending on context.

Etymology and scope: Preparāre derives from the prefix pre- meaning “beforehand” attached to parāre, the more basic verb “to prepare.” The combination yields a broad sense of preparing in advance, whether for a task, a meal, a plan, or a campaign. In Romance languages, the same root survives in French préparer, Spanish preparar, and Italian preparare, all tracing back to the Latin form preparāre.

Conjugation and principal parts: Preparāre is a first-conjugation verb. Its principal parts are preparō (I prepare), preparāre (to prepare), preparāvī (I prepared), preparātum (prepared). This enables standard inflection across tenses and voices. Present active indicative forms are: preparō, preparās, preparat, preparāmus, preparātis, preparant. Imperfect active: preparābam, preparābās, preparābat, preparābāmus, preparābātis, preparābant. Future active: preparābō, preparābis, preparābit, preparābimus, preparābitis, preparābunt. Passive forms mirror these endings: present preparor, preparāris, preparātur, preparāmur, preparāminī, preparantur, and so on with other tenses.

Usage notes: While classical Latin uses preparāre regularly, the form preparedare does not occur in standard Latin texts. When encountered, it is typically treated as a misspelling or an artificial/phonetic variant rather than a separate lexical item.
