A simple example is I have a series of three ordered connected things.

I called the first one “pre” since it “precedes” the others.

I called the last one “pro” since it “proceeds” from the others.

These are somewhat poetic/whimsical terms, for an abstract arrangement, but it’s nice to have good terms even for non-serious stuff.

I couldn’t come up with an equally concise term for the middle.

Claude came up with “per” as in “through” for the middle thing.

Couldn’t be more fitting.

Inventing words (neologism) with LLMs is a fun past time, or giving it descriptions and having it define the concept in various languages.
