To bring forward or produce something, especially to cause something to come into existence or be revealed.
Compound of Old English 'forth' (forward) and 'bring' (to carry or convey). The combination creates a phrasal-style verb meaning to advance or produce, common in Middle English but largely replaced by simpler constructions.
Medieval English loved stacking 'forth' onto verbs to add emphasis—'forthbring' made the action sound more forceful and directional than just 'bring.' It's like how we say 'pull out' instead of 'extract' for extra punch!
