Compounds

forth- in compounds. In Old English and Middle English the combinations of forth adv. with verbs are hardly to be considered compound words; whether the adverb precedes or follows the verb depends on euphonic or other conditions which do not affect the sense. The agent-nouns, nouns of action, and participial adjectives corresponding to these verbal locutions were formed by prefixing forth to the verbal noun or adjective corresponding to the verb. In modern English compound verbs formed with forth- are rare; but forth- is often used as a prefix in the formation of nouns of agent and action, and participial adjectives corresponding to the verbal phrases (compound verbs in sense but not in form) in which the adverb follows the verb. More frequently, however, the agent-noun, etc. is followed by the adverb; thus we have a setter forth, but *forthsetter is apparently not recorded. For the formation of participial adjectives the prefix is the only means available; and in poetry from Pope onwards it is very common in present participles.
a1382 Bible (Wycliffite, E.V.) (Douce 369(1)) (1850) Isa. xxviii. 24 Whether al day shal ere the erere, that he sowe and forth kutten [L. proscindet], and purge his erthe.
1718 A. Pope tr. Homer Iliad IV. xiii. 93 As a Falcon..Forth-springing instant, darts her self from high.
In some Old English and Middle English words, forth- appears as a substitute for fore- prefix: see forthfather n., forthward n., forthwith adv. b.The more important compounds of forth- will be treated in their alphabetical place as Main words; those enumerated in this article are nonce-words or of rare occurrence.
