The word "fore shown" is spelled as "fɔr ʃəʊn" in IPA phonetic transcription. This word is a past participle form of the verb "foreshow" which means to indicate or predict something beforehand. The prefix "fore-" means "before" and the verb "show" refers to demonstrating something. This spelling may cause confusion as it can be mistaken for the more commonly used word "foreshown". Nonetheless, both spellings are correct and convey the same meaning.
