A person or animal that runs or moves ahead; a forerunner or one who goes in front.
From 'fore-' (ahead) + 'loper' (one who lopes or runs). The term combines English elements to describe someone positioned at the front in movement or action.
A foreloper in a medieval hunt had to have incredible stamina—they ran at the front of the pack to drive prey toward waiting hunters, essentially running themselves to exhaustion for sport.
