prepend

    0.01 sec.
prepend
To attach to the beginning of data. For example, a header is "prepended" to a network packet. Although it sounds correct, prepend is not an English word. It was created to sound like the opposite of "append," which means to add to the end. The correct English word is "prefix;" for example, "the header is prefixed to the packet." See prefix.
(jargon)prepend - /pree'pend'/ (by analogy with "append") To prefix or add to the beginning.
