Etymology 1

See foris.

Noun

fore

1. ablative singular of foris

Etymology 2

Formally present active infinitive corresponding to fu? (“I have been”), irregular perfect indicative of sum (“I am”). From Proto-Indo-European *b?uH- (“to become, be”), cognate with Old English b?o (“I become, I will be, I am”). In classical Latin, the fu- forms of sum are mostly limited to the perfect tenses, but old Latin has alternate present and imperfect subjunctive forms fuam and forem (for classical sim and essem) suggesting the root could once be fully conjugated. After being incorporated in the conjugation of sum, the meaning of fore shifted from the original "to become" to the classical "to be going to be".

Alternative forms

• fut?rus esse

Verb

fore

1. future active infinitive of sum

Usage notes

• Also used in the construction fore ut in place of a future passive infinitive in indirect discourse:
