To speak about something before it happens or before someone else mentions it; to predict or announce in advance.
From Old English 'fore-' (before) + 'speak' (to talk). The prefix 'fore-' was used in Germanic languages to indicate something happening in advance or beforehand. This compound emerged in Middle English to describe speaking about future events.
