What is a misused word for example using precede when you mean proceed?

A common misuse of "precede" for "proceed" is when someone says:

"We will precede with the meeting."

This is incorrect because "precede" means to come before something, while "proceed" means to continue or move forward.

The correct sentence would be:

"We will proceed with the meeting."
