Story set earlier than one already published (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prequel

(Other definitions for prequel that I've seen before include "A story beginning prior to the start of the original one" , "Young Sherlock Holmes, say" , "Story taking place at an earlier time than in the previous work" , "Story preceding another" , "What happened before" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
