To plan something in advance; to arrange or prepare ahead of time.
From 'fore-' (before) and 'plan' (from French 'plan,' ultimately from Latin 'planus,' meaning flat or level). This verb describes planning that happens in advance.
Chess players foreplan their moves many steps ahead—grandmasters can forecast 20+ moves in advance—which is why they take so long thinking; they're not just planning the next move but creating a whole tree of possibilities.
