Foreshadows is a verb that refers to the act of giving a hint or indication of something that is likely to happen in the future. It is commonly used in literature, storytelling, and film to create suspense and anticipation by providing clues or suggestions about the outcome or development of a plot or character.

This literary technique is intended to engage and captivate the audience by building anticipation and curiosity, encouraging them to seek patterns and connections within the narrative.
Foreshadowing can be achieved through various means, including dialogue, character behavior, setting descriptions, or narrative elements. It may involve the use of symbolic objects, recurring motifs, or repeated phrases that hold significance and hint at future events. By employing foreshadowing effectively, writers and directors can enhance the dramatic effect and plot development of their work, injecting intrigue and unpredictability into the story.

Etymology of FORESHADOWS
The word "foreshadows" is derived from the combination of two separate words: "fore" and "shadows".
The prefix "fore" is derived from the Old English word "fore", meaning "before" or "in front of". It is related to the German word "vor" and the Dutch word "voor", which both have the same meaning. "Fore" is commonly used in English to indicate something that comes before or precedes another.
The term "shadows" refers to the dark areas that are cast by an object blocking light. It is derived from the Middle English word "shadewe", which came from the Old English word "sceadwe". This, in turn, is related to the Old High German word "scato" and the German word "Schatten".
When combined, "fore" and "shadows" create the verb "foreshadows".
