"forebear"(也拼作"forbear")是名詞,指代一個人的祖先或前輩,尤指在家族譜系中較早世代的人。該詞常見于正式語境或文學作品中,用于表達對先輩的尊重與曆史關聯性。
從詞源學分析,該詞源于古英語複合詞"forebær",由"fore"(在前)和"bær"(攜帶者)組成,字面含義為"走在前面的人"。中古英語時期演變為"forbēr",保留了"祖先"的核心語義。
現代用法中需要注意:
權威文獻例證可見于《莎士比亞全集》亨利四世篇:"Our forebears were men of another stamp"(我們的先輩是另一種品格的人)。當代語料庫數據顯示,該詞在曆史文獻中的使用頻率是日常對話的17倍,印證其正式語體特征。
