Etymology of FORETELL
The word "foretell" can be divided into two parts: "fore" and "tell".
The prefix "fore" dates back to the Old English period and is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "fura" or "fora", meaning "before" or "in front of". It is related to the Old Norse "fyrr" and the Gothic "faiura".
The word "tell" has multiple origins. One origin can be traced back to the Old English verb "tellan", derived from the Proto-Germanic word "taljan", which means "to count" or "to reckon". The word evolved from the Proto-Indo-European root "del-" meaning "to divide" or "to separate". Another origin of "tell" is the Old English "tellan", which means "to narrate" or "to relate".
