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.

Preparation gave Summer peace of mind, as she had pretected her assets.
I have done what was necessary to pretect my family while away on business, should they fall prey to unsavory forces. Against the possibility of future disasters, the petections are solid and secure.

To not be raped in prison you must have a low score on the statistical indicators below. If you can check one or more of the the following factors below you are likely to be targeted for sexual assault the moment you enter a penal facility:

Youthful age
good looks
ambiguous sexual orientation

Characteristics that mark you as a candidate for abuse are:

small size
physical weakness
being white
being gay
being a first offender
possessing "feminine" characteristics such as long hair or a high voice
being unassertive or unaggressive
being shy
being intellectual
not being street-smart
being “passive"
having been convicted of a sexual offense against a minor
entering prison not associated with a set or a gang

Operation PROTECT 

A New Zealand (NZ) military operation established to support the New Zealand governments response to Covid 19. The operation was formed when it was discovered that other NZ government departments were completely incompetent, and entirely incapable of doing anything other than cashing their absorbently high pay checks for doing very little. The NZ military then spent approximately 2 years repeatedly correcting the ineptitude of these government departments and guiding them step by step through the simplest of tasks to ensure the containment of Covid 19. This operation was done in conjunction with maintaining all other NZ military outputs, therefore creating significant fatigue of military personnel. This resulted in excessive attrition of service personnel whom were both frustrated with the governments maladroitness, and the militaries senior leadership for their inability to defend their personnel; and instead were only focused on furthering their own careers.
Mate: So what is Operation PROTECT?

Other Mate: So bullshit to bail out the incompetence of the government.
