Explanation:
Pre means before. Pre is a prefix that indicates time sequence in which something took place prior to something (the admixture in this case). Maybe you are mislead by word "admixture" as "ad" might have given you impression this is also a prefix. But admixture is a formal word fof "mixture" and same as that good old "mixture".

pre- (prefix) is used to form words that indicate that something takes place before a particular date, period, or event.
