Etymology of FORECITED
The word "forecited" is derived from the combination of two separate terms: "fore" and "cite".
The term "fore" originates from the Old English word "fore" or "foran", which means "before" or "in front of". It has remained relatively unchanged in its meaning throughout history.
The term "cite" is derived from the Latin word "citare", which means "to summon" or "to call upon". In English, "cite" has primarily taken on the meaning of "to quote" or "to refer to" since the late 15th century.
By combining these two terms, "forecited" is formed, meaning "previously mentioned" or "referred to earlier in a text". The prefix "fore-" denotes that a citation or reference was made in the preceding portion of a document or text.
