Étymologie
The phrase "to prevent from" originates from the Latin verb 'praevenire,' meaning 'to come before' or 'to anticipate.' Over time, 'prevent' entered English in the late Middle Ages, carrying the sense of stopping something ahead of time. The addition of 'from' clarifies what is being stopped, making the phrase more precise.
