Etymonline
Word Origin & History
afore
O.E. onforan, from phrase on foran, from on (prep) + foran (adv.) "in front," dative of for (q.v.). In some cases probably it represents O.E. ætforan "at-fore." Once the literary equivalent of before, now it has mostly been replaced by that word except in nautical use
EXPANDand in combinations such as aforesaid and aforethought.
