The act of putting forth or exerting effort; the presentation or proposal of something.
Gerund form of 'forthput' (to put forth), combining 'forth' with 'put' (Old English 'putian'). The compound suggests active presentation rather than passive existence.
A merchant's 'forthputting' of new goods, a scholar's 'forthputting' of a theory—the word appears in commercial and intellectual contexts where someone actively presents something to the public!
