Did you know?
"Prolegomenon" is the singular and "prolegomena" is the plural of this
scholarly word, though people sometimes mistakenly interpret "prolegomena" as
the singular. The word, which comes from the Greek verb "prolegein" ("to say
beforehand"), first appeared in print around 1652. It has appeared in the
titles of noteworthy scholarly and philosophical works, but it has never been
as common in general use as its older cousin "prologue." "Prologue" usually
refers to an introduction to a literary work or to a speech addressed to the
audience at the beginning of a play. "Prolegomenon" is most often used of the
introduction to a work of scholarly analysis. Both words can also be used in
a broader sense to refer generally to something that serves as an
introduction.
