Origin
The word "forego" originates from the Old English word "forgān," which means "to give up" or "to abstain." This word is derived from the Proto-Germanic word "farg-etanan," which is a combination of the preposition "faran" (over, beyond) and the verb "gʷʰen-" (to overcome, to forget).
The Proto-Indo-European root, "per-+gʷʰen-," also appears in other languages, including:
This root suggests that the concept of "foregoing" or "giving up" is related to the idea of "going beyond" or "overcoming."
