An announcement made in advance; a prior declaration or public notice.
Combines 'fore-' (before) with 'announcement' (from Old French 'annoncer'). This is the noun form referring to advance public notices.
Historical records show that 'foreannouncements' were so important to social order that laws regulated them—you couldn't just announce a market or fair; you had to 'foreannounce' it with proper timing so everyone could prepare.
