Correct spelling in Latin is "praeter".
It has various meanings as beyond, excluded, except, save, more than.

A few examples :
'Praeterintentionalis delictum' is in English "unintentional crime"
'Praeter opinionem' is in English "unwaited","unexpected"
'Praeter modum' is in English "beyond measure"
