Forehood

/ˈfɔːrhʊd/ noun

Definition

The state or condition of being in front; the position or status of being foremost or preliminary.

Etymology

From 'fore-' plus the suffix '-hood' from Old English meaning 'state or condition.' This rare term describes a quality of being first or anterior in position or time.

Kelly Says

The '-hood' suffix is incredibly productive in English (childhood, adulthood, priesthood)—forehood is an archaic attempt to name the abstract idea of 'the quality of being in front,' though it never caught on in modern usage.
