What does the prefix "fore-" mean?

Death
Pervious
Love, like
First, early

The correct answer is: Pervious

The prefix "fore-" means "first" or "early." This prefix is derived from Old English and is used to indicate something that occurs before or in front of something else in time, space, or order. For example, in words like "foresee" (to see or know ahead of time) and "forewarn" (to warn someone in advance), the prefix clearly conveys a sense of precedence or anticipation regarding time. Understanding prefixes like "fore-" aids in decoding the meaning of other words in the English language, enhancing comprehension and vocabulary skills.
