A rare word meaning to weep or cry in advance or beforehand.
From 'fore-' (before) + 'weep' (to cry). This combines a predictive prefix with a basic English emotion verb. This word is extremely rare and archaic.
This beautiful but almost-forgotten word captures the human experience of anticipatory grief—crying before something sad happens because you can already imagine the loss.
