Definition
to wear out or exhaust completely; to destroy through wear.
Etymology
From Old English 'for-' (completely) + 'wear' (to deteriorate through use). The prefix intensifies the destructive aspect of wearing something down.
Kelly Says
This perfectly captures something we still experience—clothes that are 'worn' last a while, but when something is 'forworn' (completely worn through), it's totally destroyed, showing how prefixes helped express intensity.
