Definition
An archaic term for a shortcut or direct path forward.
Etymology
Compound of 'forth' and 'cut' (Old English 'cyttan,' to cut or divide). The term suggests cutting straight ahead rather than following conventional routes.
Kelly Says
A 'forthcut' is what medieval travelers called a direct route—it's a reminder that before GPS, finding shortcuts required local knowledge and reputation, and these paths had specific names!
