Etimologia (Anglès)

Heretat de anglès mitjà: foreclosen

Heretat de anglès mitjà: forclusen

Heretat de anglès antic: forclȳsan

In summary

Partially from Middle English foreclosen, forclosen, from Old French forclos, past participle of forclore (“to exclude”), from for- (“(prefix used to express error, exclusion, or inadequacy)”) + clore (“to shut”), and partially from Middle English forclusen (“to close up”), from Old English forclȳsan (“to close up”), equivalent to fore- + close.
