Etymology

From 'fore-' (before) + 'live' (to exist). An archaic or poetic verb combining Old English elements to express living through or toward a future moment.

Kelly Says

This beautifully archaic verb captures the feeling of anticipation—like how you 'forelive' your vacation by imagining it days before, making those daydreams almost as real as the actual experience.
