The temporary storage table (TST) is a list of generic names (or prefixes) used to identify sets of temporary storage queues.

Adding prefixes to the base, or root, of existing words to form new words is common in English. The prefix is added in front of the base word (pre- means before) to create a new word with a different meaning. For example, if you add the prefix dis- to the word like, you get dislike—the opposite of like.

The word prefix is itself made up of the stem fix (meaning "attach", in this case), and the prefix pre- (meaning "before"), both of which are derived from Latin roots.
