C1 noun Formell

foreplicant

/ˈfɔːr.rɛp.lɪ.kənt/

A foreplicant is an early-stage prototype or a precursor version of a synthetic organism or machine intended for later mass replication. It serves as a foundational model used to test basic functions and structural integrity before the final, more advanced version is developed.
