The answer

EARLY

What early means

Occurring or happening before the usual, expected, or planned time.

Where the word comes from

From Old English *ærlīce*, meaning "soon" or "in good time," this adverb derives from *ær*, meaning "before" or "soon." The *ær* root comes from Proto-Germanic *airiz*, related to Old Norse *árr* and ultimately from an Indo-European root meaning "to go" or "to move." The sense shifted from "before" to "sooner than usual" and finally to our modern meaning of "occurring before the expected time."
