A person who tells forth; someone who proclaims, announces, or prophesies.
From 'forthtell' + '-er' (agent suffix). Follows the standard English pattern of adding '-er' to create an agent noun from a verb.
This word was an alternative to 'prophet' or 'herald'—jobs we still have, but we've stopped using creative compound words to name the people who do them.
