How to spell prepare
Prepare is spelled P-R-E-P-A-R-E.
What it means: To make something ready.
In a sentence: Let's prepare some cookies for the party.
Same family: preparation, prepared, preparing, preparedness, unprepared. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.
Where it comes from: “Prepare” comes from Latin *praeparare*, formed from *prae* meaning “before” and *parare* meaning “make ready.” So the word literally means “to make ready beforehand,” which is still exactly how we use it today.
