Talk:предоставить

What is предо- here? Is it a recognized (if rare) prefix (and if so, what does it mean?), is it a variant of пред- used before certain consonant clusters (and if so, why is there also представить?), or is it a combination пре- + до-? Benwing2 (talk) 18:46, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * It's пре- + доставить, which in turn is до- + ставить. I wouldn't say it's directly пре- + до- + ставить. --WikiTiki89 18:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * No, this is предо- + ставить. предо- is a variant of пред-, doing something beforehand, in advance, putting something forward, here it means as if putting something abstract (like a chance) in front of someone. The verb представить has more concrete meanings than предоставить.--Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 21:37, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
