preloved

Reader's Digest ９月号の記事 Helping Hands に出て来た単語 "preloved" は良く考えれば分かるのですが、私は辞書を引くまで意味がピンときませんでした。
The reactions from mothers' groups and buy and sell groups was immediate. Offers of preloved clothes, blankets and sleeping bags filled her screen.
辞書で "preloved" を調べます。
・Oxford English Dictionary: Previously owned; secondhand: preloved toys are just as appealing
・Dictionary.com: (Austral, informal)secondhand; previously owned or used; also written pre-loved
オーストラリア英語の様ですね。単に "used" と言うよりも愛着があって良い響きですね。
