词根
"predecessor"的词根是"decessor"，源自拉丁文"decessor"，意思是"退位者"，"pre-"是前缀，意为"在……之前"，所以"predecessor"可解释为"在之前的退位者"。 另外，由词根"decessor"衍生出来的还有"successor"（接任者，继任者）、"cessation"（停止，终止）等词。

n. 前任，前辈 [ 复数 predecessors ]

强化记忆
透过“pre-”是“在前面”的意思，“-decessor”与“离开”类似，可以想象出一个前任是在前面离开（退位）的人，这样就容易记住"predecessor"的含义了。单词"predecessor"源自14世纪的中英语，进一步追溯，该词源自拉丁词"decessor"（意为“离开者”）及"pre-"（意为“在前，之前”）。由于欧美社会重视继承和传承，"predecessor"这一单词在文化、社会 等领域经常出现。
