forayv.

Brit. /ˈfɒreɪ/, U.S. /ˈfɔˌreɪ/, /ˈfɑˌreɪ/
Forms: Middle English–1600s forray, (Middle English forra, Middle English forr(e)y, 1500s fory, forrow, 1600s furrow), 1800s foray. past tense 1500s–1600s forrai(e)d.
Etymology: ultimately from Romance *fodro (see forage n.); the precise formation and the mutual relation of the verb and noun are somewhat obscure. The supposition most free from difficulties is perhaps that the noun is < foray v., and that the verb is a back-formation < forayer n. (the forms forrow , furrow , may come from the form furrour of the noun). The alternative is to regard foray n. as a derivative of Old French forrer to forage (see forage n.), and as having given rise to the English verb.
1. transitive. To scour or ravage (a country) in search of forage or booty; to pillage; to seize and carry off (goods); to plunder the property of (a person).Revived in the 19th cent. by Sir Walter Scott.
