forgone

/fɔɹˈɡɑn/ verb

past participle of forgo

Word Origin Forgone is the past participle of forego, meaning 'to go before' or 'to precede.' The fore- prefix is 'before' (like in foretell, forehead), but it's often confused with forgo (to give up). The -ne ending is an old past participle marker, like in gone. So forgone literally means 'gone before' — something that has already happened.
