An archaic verb meaning to delay greatly, move very slowly, or cause to proceed with excessive slowness.
From 'for-' (completely, excessively) + 'slow.' The prefix intensifies 'slow' to suggest dragging out action or movement in an exaggerated manner.
Medieval storytellers used 'forslow' when describing tedious journeys—it's the ancestor of our modern 'slow down,' but sounds like the journey will never end.
