名詞

fore

1. ablative singular of foris

語源 2

Formally present active infinitive corresponding to fuī (“I have been”), irregular perfect indicative of sum (“to be”). From Proto-Italic *fuiezi (s-derivative verbal noun of *fuiō), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH- (“to become, be”), cognate with 古期英語 bēo (“to become, will be; to be”). In classical Latin, the fu- forms of sum are mostly limited to the perfect tenses, but old Latin has alternate present and imperfect subjunctive forms fuam and forem (for classical sim and essem) suggesting the root could once be fully conjugated. After being incorporated in the conjugation of sum, the meaning of fore shifted from the original "to become" to the classical "to be going to be".

  I believe it would be that she will be praised.

  (literally, “I believe it to be going to be that she is praised.”)
