To speak or express something before the proper time; to utter something prematurely or in advance of when it should be said.
From 'fore-' (before) + 'utter' (to speak). Developed in Middle English, combining the temporal prefix with the action of speech, now archaic.
This word captures a very specific social anxiety—speaking too soon and spoiling a surprise or revealing a secret prematurely—making it a perfect term for gossipy neighbors and people who ruin movie endings.
