etymology of fordo

edit

User Bogorm has (quite rightly) questioned my claim that fordo / foredo is "from" foredoom. I have noticed a connection, but it is probably more complicated than I first thought. Note: see also citations at citations:foredo. Pingku 18:42, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Yes, but German vertun should perhaps also be included in the etymology. It means to waste (time, money...). ver- + tun. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 21:05, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
