The number of recorded combinations of this kind is therefore enormous, and only a selection of them can here be given. Now, however, the use of the prefix, except in established combinations such as foresee, foretell, or in new combinations closely analogous to these, is felt to be somewhat archaistic or affected; in ordinary prose usage the meaning is expressed by the addition of an adverb, or (in verbs of obvious Latin or Rom. derivation) by the prefix pre-.extracted from fore-prefix < v.c900 as lemmas
