prettygoodwordpremonish (pri-MON-ish) - v., to warn in advance.
Although admonish now means something more like rebuke, especially after the fact, it originally meant warn beforehand--from Latin ad-, against + moneō, warn/advise. This much less known word replaces the prefix with pre-, here in the sense of before.
——L.
