Etymology
The word "fore" originates from Old English fore, which has Germanic roots (compare Old High German fora and Old Norse fyrir). It consistently conveys the idea of "front" or "before" across its uses, whether as an adjective, noun, or adverb. Its simplicity and directness make it a foundational morpheme in compounds like "forehead" (front of the head) or "forecast" (to project beforehand).
