My dictionary says the definition of "*prerequisite*" is "*a thing that is required as a prior condition for something else to happen or exist*". And it says the definition of "*cause*" is "*a person or thing that gives rise to an action, phenomenon, or condition*". So cause and prerequisite are synonyms.

*A more careful reading of the definitions would tell you that a prerequisite doesn't does not give rise to an action; but it's absence precludes the action.
