Fronture

/ˈfrʌntʃə/ noun

Definition

An archaic or rare term for the front part or forefront of something.

Etymology

From front + -ure (a suffix forming nouns from verbs, indicating action or result). This appears to be an obsolete or very rarely used English term that never gained standard adoption.

Kelly Says

This is a word you might find in Middle English texts or very old documents, but it never became standard English—language is full of these failed experiments where people tried to create a word that just didn't stick around!
