Etymology

The term 'forearm' originates from Middle English, derived from Old English 'forerm', which is a combination of 'for-' (meaning 'before' or 'front') and 'arm'. This etymology reflects the forearm's position in relation to the rest of the arm, specifically its location between the elbow and the wrist. Throughout history, the forearm has been integral for various tasks, from tool use in prehistoric times to complex movements in sports and arts today. As the understanding of human anatomy evolved, so did the terminology, leading to the modern usage of 'forearm' in both medical contexts and daily language.
