Pronunciation: [fˈɔːkwə͡ʊtɪd] (IPA) 
Forequoted is a word that is not commonly used in everyday language. It is spelled with the prefix "fore" which means "before." The suffix "quoted" indicates that something has been said or written previously. The correct pronunciation of forequoted is /fɔrˈkwotəd/. The stressed syllable is "kwot" and the "e" at the end is pronounced as schwa, which is an unstressed and neutral vowel sound.
Forequoted is a term that refers to a quotation or statement that is presented or mentioned before the main content or discussion begins. It is derived from the combination of the prefix "fore-" which means "before" or "in advance," and the verb "quote," which means to repeat or cite something said or written by someone else.
In various contexts, forequoted can denote the act of including a quotation at the beginning of a written work, such as an essay, article, or book, to provide a foreshadowing or introductory remark. This technique is often employed to set the tone or provide a preview of the topic being discussed. By providing a forequoted statement, authors aim to engage the reader's attention and conjecture their own response or interpretation. Forequotes can also be used to demonstrate the relevance or significance of the topic or to establish the credibility of the author by referencing a respected source.
Moreover, the term forequoted can apply to verbal communication as well, where a speaker or presenter includes a quotation at the outset of a speech or presentation to captivate the audience's interest or establish a point of reference for the subsequent discourse.
Throughout various forms of communication, the use of forequoted statements aims to enhance the impact and effectiveness of the overall message by alluding to relevant ideas or viewpoints in advance.
The word "forequoted" does not have its own distinct etymology as it is a combination of two separate terms: "fore" and "quoted".
1. "Fore": This term comes from the Old English word "fore", which means "before" or "in front of". It is related to other Germanic languages such as Old High German "fora" and Old Norse "fyrir". The word has been used since medieval times to refer to something that comes before or is in front of something else.
2. "Quoted": This term comes from the verb "quote", which originated from the Latin word "quotare", meaning "to mark a number". Over time, "quote" evolved to mean "to cite", "to repeat", or "to mention a specific passage or statement made by someone else".
