Etymology of FORESTALLS

The word "forestalls" can be traced back to Middle English, where it was formed by combining the prefix "for-", denoting proactivity, with the Old French word "estal", meaning "standing place" or "stall". In the context of trade and commerce, "estal" referred to a market stall or a place where goods were offered for sale. Thus, "forestall" originally meant to obstruct or preemptively block someone from selling or buying goods at a particular stall or in the market. Over time, the word evolved and now generally implies preventing or hindering an event or action from taking place.
