protacticadj.

Brit.

/prə(ʊ)ˈtaktɪk/, U.S.

/proʊˈtæktɪk/

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; modelled on a Greek lexical item. Etymons: pro- prefix², tactic adj.¹

Etymology: < pro- prefix² + tactic adj.¹, after Hellenistic Greek προτακτικός placed in front, used as a prefix (compare προτάσσειν to place before or in front).In sense 2 apparently by confusion with the formally and semantically similar protatic adj. (compare protasis n.).

rare.

1. Placed before, in front of, or at the beginning of something.

ΚΠ

1828 N. Webster Amer. Dict. Eng. Lang. at Protactic Being placed in the beginning; previous.

1882 Amer. Jrnl. Philo. 3 423 Somewhat less common, however, in older English,—dialectal excepted,—are expressions like ‘waters flows’, where the verb is not protactic.

1992 Jrnl. Musicol. 10 239 Note also the brief protactic introduction by the piano... The piano is sketching out the battle lines in advance.

2. Of or relating to a protasis (in various senses); appearing only in a protasis (cf. protasis n.).

ΚΠ

1898 Classical Rev. 12 298 The protactic nature of this construction is clear from the nearly fixed position of the pronoun after the verb.

1934 Amer. Jrnl. Philo. 55 65 The interlocutor, a protactic character, disappears at line 16, and the remainder of the elegy is entirely addressed to Cynthia.

1998 W. T. MacCary Hamlet: Guide to Play iii. 92 It is thought in the process of formation, and it is thought that springs forth spontaneously from the main character without the prodding of a protactic character—one who has no function other than to ask the protagonist what he is thinking.
