Definition of predate
Definition: To affix with a date earlier than the true date; BACKDATE or to precede in time.
Example 1: The check was predated to make it appear as if it was written earlier than it actually was.
Example 2: The invention of the wheel predates the invention of writing.
These examples illustrate how predating can be used to deceive or manipulate, as in the case of the check, or to establish a timeline, as in the case of the invention of the wheel.
