It is a verbregular which indicates the meaning of “anticipating to prevent something from happening, taking precautions”. The spelling of this verb is TO PREVENT.
The doubt about the spelling of the verb TO PREVENT with vowel'and' or with 'i' on Monday syllable is common inPortuguese language by virtue of proximity phonetics of these two vowels in some situations and regions of Brazil.
