Guidance or direction provided in advance; preliminary instruction or leadership.
From 'fore-' (before) + 'guidance' (direction or advice). A rare compound from early English that combines the prefix with an established noun. The word appears in religious and instructional texts where preliminary spiritual or practical guidance was important.
This is an obscure gem—monasteries and schools used 'foreguidance' to describe the foundational teachings given before students learned advanced lessons, like scaffolding in learning!
