What does FORTH mean in Scrabble?
adverb
literary
Forward, onward, or out into view, especially away from a starting point in place or time.
Forth describes movement away from a point of origin, either physically, as in setting forth on a journey, or in time, as in from this day forth. The word survives mainly in fixed phrases and slightly formal or literary speech rather than as a freestanding modern adverb. It often pairs with verbs of motion or beginning, such as go forth, bring forth, or put forth, giving those expressions a more ceremonial tone. Everyday English generally prefers plainer words such as out or onward in casual contexts.
