forethoughtfulness

/ˈfɔɹˌθɔtfəlnəs/ noun

The condition of being forethoughtful

Word Origin Built from Old English 'fore' (before) and 'þencan' (to think) — literally thinking ahead. The word layers on suffixes: -ful (full of) and -ness (state of), so it's the state of being full of forethought. The same root 'þencan' gives us think, thought, and even thank (originally a thought of gratitude). A great example of how Old English compounds can stack up.
