What does FOREGO mean in Scrabble?
verb
literary
To go before something in place or time; to precede it.
This is the older and rarer verb, built from fore and go, and it is the source of the familiar phrase foregone conclusion. People often type it when they mean forgo, which is the word for giving something up. The present spelling with the extra e belongs to the sense of coming first, even though dictionaries tolerate the other meaning too.
