infralapsarian

from The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
Infralapsarian \In`fra*lap*sa"ri*an\, n. [Infra + lapse: cf. F.
   infralapsaire. See {Lapse}.] (Eccl. Hist.)
   One of that class of Calvinists who consider the decree of
   election as contemplating the apostasy as past and the elect
   as being at the time of election in a fallen and guilty
   state; -- opposed to {Supralapsarian}. The former considered
   the election of grace as a remedy for an existing evil; the
   latter regarded the fall as a part of God's original purpose
   in regard to men.
