Prepend
/prē-pend/
[by analogy with 'append']
vt. To prefix. As with 'append' (but not 'prefix' or 'suffix' as a verb), the direct object is always the thing being added and not the original word (or character string, or whatever).
"If you prepend a semicolon to the line, the translation routine will pass it through unaltered."
