Etymology

The word 'forborne' can be traced back to Middle English and Old English origins. It comes from the Old English 'forberan', which means to bear, endure, or support. This word itself consists of the prefix 'for-' meaning 'away, off' and 'beran,' which is akin to the modern verb 'bear.' The use of 'forbear' evolved over time to encompass the notion of voluntarily holding back or refraining from doing something. In literary contexts, it often conveys a sense of patience or self-control often awarded with a moral quality. The word has undergone various phonetic and semantic shifts throughout its history but has maintained its core meaning, reflecting the enduring human experience of restraint and perseverance.
