Usage notes
Often expresses something being done completely or to a natural end point of the action described by the verb, similar to or. In the case of past participles, the intuition for "förX" is "has had X done to it." Compare for example and  ("enburned", "burned up"),  and  ("enshrunk", "shrunk up"),  and  ("enmolder", "molder up"),  and  ("enbleed"),  and  ("enchromed", "chromed up"), and (though with a reversal in meaning from )  and  ("enloved", "loved up"). This is semi-productive (though usually seen as jocular for ad-hoc formations) in modern Swedish, similar to how en- might spontaneously be added to English verbs. See for an example of this intuition having changed the meaning of a word.
