Definition
Archaic term meaning to lay before, in front of, or in ambush for someone.
Etymology
From Old English 'forleggan,' combining 'for-' (before, against) + 'lecgan' (to lay). Related to the concept of setting a trap or lying in wait.
Kelly Says
Medieval writers used 'forlay' to describe ambushes and traps—it's the ancestor of the phrase 'lie in wait,' showing how the 'for-' prefix originally meant 'against' or 'in opposition to' someone.
