An archaic term for a shortcut or direct path forward.
Compound of 'forth' and 'cut' (Old English 'cyttan,' to cut or divide). The term suggests cutting straight ahead rather than following conventional routes.
A 'forthcut' is what medieval travelers called a direct route—it's a reminder that before GPS, finding shortcuts required local knowledge and reputation, and these paths had specific names!
