中文詞源

foremost 最前面的，最重要的

來(lái)自古英語(yǔ)formest, 最早的。來(lái)自PIE*pre-mo, 最早的，*pre-, 在先，詞源同fore, *mo, 最高級(jí)后綴，詞源同intimate, ultimate. -est, 最高級(jí)后綴。因此，該詞實(shí)際上為雙重最高級(jí)形式，后拼寫(xiě)受fore,most影響。比較former, first.

英文詞源

foremost: foremost: see former
foremost (adj.): Middle English formest, from Old English fyrmest, formest "earliest, first, most prominent," from Proto-Germanic *furmista-/*frumista- (related to Old English fruma "beginning"), from PIE *pre-mo-, suffixed (superlative) form of root *per- (1) "forward, through; before; first" (see per) + additional superlative suffix -est. For the -m-, see -most, and compare similarly formed Old Frisian formest, Gothic frumists. Altered on the assumption that it is a compound of fore and most. The same compound without the superlative -m- is first. Also in Old English as an adverb, "first of all, at first, in the first place."
