Someone who offers or proposes something in advance; a person who makes an offer beforehand.
From 'fore-' (before) + 'proffer' (from Old French profrir, meaning to offer). Describes an agent who makes preliminary offers.
In medieval diplomacy, foreprofferers were the first negotiators sent ahead of official envoys—their role was to test the waters and gauge interest before the main ambassadors arrived with formal proposals.
