What does PREWAR mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Belonging to the period before a particular war, especially one of the two world wars.
Prewar is used when a thing is dated by what came before the fighting: prewar prices, prewar housing, prewar cars. Historians and estate agents alike lean on it, the first to mark a social break and the second to describe buildings of a certain age and style. The hyphenated form pre-war is equally correct, and the war meant is normally clear from context.
