The act of giving a hint or suggestion beforehand, or preliminary indication of something to come.
From 'fore-' plus 'hinting,' derived from the verb 'hint' which has uncertain origins but possibly relates to Middle English 'henten' meaning 'to seize.' The prefix indicates advance warning.
Forehinting is essentially what modern book trailers and movie previews do—carefully plant hints about what's coming to generate interest and prepare the audience's mind for the experience.
