## Definition and Usage

The prevUntil() method returns all previous sibling elements between the selector and stop.

Sibling elements are elements that share the same parent.

The DOM tree: This method traverse backwards along siblings of DOM elements.

Note: If both parameters are empty, this method will return all previous sibling elements (same as the prevAll() method).

Related methods:
