Coming before (9)
I believe the answer is:
preceding
'coming before' is the definition.
('precede' can be a synonym of 'come before')
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for preceding that I've seen before include "Coming/going before" , "Coming before" , "earlier" .)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
