To advise or counsel someone in advance; to give guidance beforehand.
Combines 'fore-' (before) with 'advise' (from Old French 'aviser,' to consider or inform). This is the verb form of 'foreadvice.'
Medieval documents show people paying for 'foreadvise' before making major decisions—buying land, arranging marriages, starting businesses. The concept that you should pay for advice before acting, not after failing, is surprisingly ancient.
