Pretect

A verb to denote steps taken prior to events seen as threatening or dangerous, to ensure safety. Whereas protect is a form of present-tense action, 'Pretect' denotes steps taken in advance of the need for protection. Perhaps a form of insurance, pretection guards against the possible adversarial forces in one's future, when actual protection is required.

No one can predict the future, so pretection is required.
