👉 In linguistics, a prepollice is a type of lexical item that has been previously defined, but which does not have a corresponding definition in the lexicon. These items are often used to clarify or refine definitions for terms that are already well-defined but do not fit into existing categories. For example: 1. The word "dip" is a prepollice because it can be understood as a verb meaning "to dip," but it does not have a specific definition in the lexicon
