Usage notes
Some terms prefixed with have alternative spellings beginning with fore-, though they do not derive from fore- (they do not mean “before”); examples include, ,. Conversely, some terms prefixed with fore- have alternative spellings beginning with for-, such as ; the form with fore- is usually preferred to avoid ambiguity, with the conspicuous exception of /. In some cases analogous words with both prefixes are found, as in vs.,  vs. , and  vs. . The prefixes might be distantly related (from Proto-Indo-European), but are distinct in English.
