One of the most unattractive words in the current universe is the word Proto-Consciousness. One of the most obnoxious sentences in the English Language, and I have to paraphrase: "The warm, wet, and noisy environment of the brain is hostile to delicate quantum states." Sure, anything like the word moist suggests some kind of Christian Mingle and should be avoided, but we're not Milquetoast for god's sake. We people are an out of control example of the anomaly that is life. And yet, thanks to Descartes and whoever else he might have slept with, the offering from Process Philosophers that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe, not an emergent property, does seem very wacky. So it's inevitable that words like moist and prefixes such as proto will enter the discourse.
