If the Latin prefix pro-means “ahead” and the suffix -ion means “act,” what does provision mean?

The word "provision" means "providing or supplying something for use".

By taking into consideration the preffix pro- and the suffix -ion we can infer that the meaning of the word provision is "the fact or state of being prepared beforehand".

If "vision" means "the act or power of seeing", by adding the pro- preffix we understand the we can see something ahead, something that has not happened yet but will probably occur. In this way we prepare for the event. Provision describes that act.
