The word "premotion" is derived from the Latin præmōtiō meaning "a moving or urging beforehand," from præmōvēre "to move or urge beforehand," which is a compound of the prefix præ- "before" and movēre "to move."
Premotion refers to the act of moving or urging something beforehand, especially in a forceful or persuasive manner. It implies the intention to cause a specific action or response.
The term originated in the context of theology, particularly in the philosophy of Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758). Edwards used "premotion" to describe God's direct and irresistible action upon the human will. According to his theory, God's premotion was necessary to overcome the natural inertia and resistance of human nature and to secure conversion and salvation.
Over time, the term "premotion" has been used in various contexts, including:
In general, premotion implies a sense of agency or deliberate action to influence or control the future course of events.
