prepend

From S23Wiki

This is the JargonFile (V4.00) entry for prepend - Next: prestidigitization, Prev: precedence lossage
:prepend: /preepend/ /vt./ [by analogy with append] To prefix. As with append (but not prefix or suffix as a verb), the direct object is always the thing being added and not the original word (or character string, or whatever). "If you prepend a semicolon to the line, the translation routine will pass it through unaltered."
