Fore is an English word with several related meanings depending on its part of speech:
- As an adverb or preposition: meaning "toward the front" or "in front of." In nautical usage, fore refers to the front part of a vessel, opposite of aft. In time expressions, it can mean earlier or previously (as in “before”).
- As a noun: it can mean the front part or something that is in front, and in golf it is the shout shouted to warn others of an incoming ball.
- As a prefix: fore- attaches to other words to denote "before" or "earlier" (e.g., forewarn, forecast).
If you had a specific sense or usage in mind (e.g., golf, nautical, or etymology), I can tailor the definition and examples.
