FOREDATE Meaning and Definition

1. Foredate is a verb that means to assign a date or time that is earlier than the actual occurrence of an event or the creation of a document. It involves antedating or pre-dating an event, action, or record with a specific date or timeframe that precedes the true occurrence or origination.

   The term foredate is commonly used when referring to actions such as backdating checks, contracts, or official documents. In some cases, individuals may intentionally foredate these documents to manipulate or deceive others, often for personal gain or to circumvent legal or contractual obligations. This practice is generally considered unethical and may be illegal, depending on the jurisdiction and context.

   Foredating can also refer to assigning a date to a historical event or artifact that is earlier than the currently accepted timeline. This can occur due to misconceptions, errors in dating techniques, or new evidence challenging previous assumptions. In those cases, researchers or historians may revise the foredated timeline based on newly discovered information or more accurate analysis methods.

   Overall, foredate involves the act of giving a date or time that predates the real occurrence or creation of something. It can be utilized in dishonest or misleading ways, as well as in the field of historical research to determine accurate timelines.

2. To date before the true time.

Etymology of FOREDATE

The word "foredate" is formed by combining the prefix "fore-" and the verb "date".

The prefix "fore-" comes from the Old English word "fore", which means "before" or "in front of". It is closely related to the German word "vor" and the Dutch word "voor".

The verb "date" originated from the Latin word "data", which means "given" or "assigned". It entered English in the late 14th century and initially referred to the act of noting or recording a particular time or event. Over time, it came to specifically indicate assigning a specific time or chronology to something.

In combination, "foredate" means to assign an earlier date or to predate something. It describes the act of determining or recording a date that is prior to the present.
