To cool something in advance or beforehand.
Combines 'fore-' (before) with 'cool' from Old English 'col', related to Germanic languages. A practical term that appeared in cooking and brewing instructions.
Modern industrial processes still use 'forecooling'—pre-chilling ingredients before the main process speeds up production and saves energy, making this old word still practical in food science today!
