FOREKNEW Meaning and Definition

1. Foreknew is a verb that refers to the act of having prior knowledge or awareness of something that is going to happen in the future. It is derived from the combination of two words: "fore," meaning before, and "knew," which is the past tense of the verb "know." The term emphasizes the idea of knowing in advance or having prescience about an event or outcome.

   In a literal sense, foreknew suggests having a conscious awareness or understanding of future events, circumstances, or actions. It implies a level of foresight or insight into future occurrences that is not common or accessible to ordinary individuals. Foreknew often pertains to intuitive or predicted knowledge that is acquired through personal experience, observation, or specialized information.

   The term is particularly used in theological or religious contexts to describe the omniscient understanding possessed by a divine being or deity. In this context, foreknowledge portrays the idea that the divine entity has complete awareness of all events and decisions that will occur in the future. It underscores the belief that the divine power is not constrained by time and possesses unlimited knowledge.

   Foreknew also carries a connotation of certainty and inevitability. It suggests not only having knowledge of future events but also an assurance that those events will unfold exactly as anticipated or predicted. It implies a predetermined or predestined nature of these events, suggesting that they cannot deviate from their intended course.

Etymology of FOREKNEW

The word "foreknew" is a verb derived from the combination of two words: "fore" and "knew".

The word "fore" has its origins in Old English "fore" or "foran", meaning "before" or "in front of". It is related to the German "vor" and the Dutch "voor".

The word "knew" comes from the Old English verb "cnawan", which means "to know" or "to perceive". It is also related to the German verb "kennen" and the Dutch verb "kennen".

When these two words are combined to form "foreknew", the prefix "fore" adds the sense of "prior to" or "beforehand", while "knew" retains its meaning of "to have knowledge". Thus, "foreknew" signifies having knowledge or awareness of something before it happens.
