将“foremost”分解为“fore”和“most”。联想“fore”为“前”的意思,而“most”表示“最”。想象一个事物排在最前面,是最突出的,这样就可以记住“foremost”意为“最重要的”或“最突出的”。

foremost 最前面的,最重要的

来自古英语formest, 最早的。来自PIE*pre-mo, 最早的,*pre-, 在先,词源同fore, *mo, 最高级后缀,词源同intimate, ultimate. -est, 最高级后缀。因此,该词实际上为双重最高级形式,后拼写受fore,most影响。比较former, first.

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."
