Provious

Pretty easily understood. Combination of the words pretty and obvious.
It also a word used by someone who likes to be right all the time and doesn't know the answer to a yes/no question. Combination of probably and obviously.

It's provious that he is going to McDonalds.

- SYNONYMS leave me alone, Not unless you pay me, Not even if you payed me, go away
- OPPOSITES how could I say no to such a request ! (but like seriously, no)

I wish I could! but ah.... I have a previous engagement !

previously

Before now.

Several things have happened previously, including the second world war and unidentified drinking injuries.

No-one can prevent things that happened previously.

"Children should learn about things that happened previously."

"I previously had a job."

"Previously to you, I had another wife."

previous tenant mischief

When the person who lived in your apartment before you moved in keeps the key then comes back shortly after you move in and steals small items of seemingly little consequence such as a pair of socks, camera memory card, package of hotdogs, or a pocket knife when plenty of things of much greater value are lying around. They may also leave a telltale sign that something is amiss such as leaving the light switch on, but turning the lamp off.

Aaron: Hey, Emily, were you in my room at all today?
Emily: Nope, why?
Aaron: Cuz someone turned off my lamp, but not the light and my camera memory cards are missing.
Emily: Darn previous tenant mischief
