Foreannouncement

/ˌfɔrəˈnaʊnsmənt/ noun

Definition

An announcement made in advance; a prior declaration or public notice.

Etymology

Combines 'fore-' (before) with 'announcement' (from Old French 'annoncer'). This is the noun form referring to advance public notices.

Kelly Says

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.
