1). the beginning
2). since the beginning
3). at the beginning
4). preemptively
Synonyms: all along, from the start, preemptively,
beforehandOrigins:
Contrary to the belief of some, the etymology of t0 is probably unrelated to
NASA's MET system (see
tminus). Rather, it more likely has origins in the statement t = 0, in this case representing the time at which a particular event began.
I knew t0, but didn't tell anyone.
I created a
rudimentary map of the area t0 to avoid any potential issues later on.
Looks like they had the game
in the bag t0 – we lost before it even began.
