Term: Preparation
Method: Contrast through parsing
If reparation is to make up for past mistakes, then preparation is to plan in order to avoid making mistakes in the first place.
If Parati is a coastal village in Brazil whose purpose as a gold exporting port was eliminated by the opening of a nearby river in the eighteenth century, then preparation is the work it takes to sustain a long-term engagement with the world and not to disappear for 200 years only to become a disneyfied and soul-less tourist attraction.
If ration is to reduce one's consumption of goods in order to stretch resources in a time of shortage, then preparation is the effort it takes to avoid shortage.
