Etymology

From afore- + said.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /əˈfɔɹsɛd/
  • (file)

Adjective

aforesaid (not comparable)

  1. Previously stated; said or named before.

Usage notes

When it modifies a noun phrase, it is generally preceded by the definite article the, and the combination functions as a determiner rather than a simple adjective. You can put it before a cardinal like the aforesaid two articles instead of the two aforesaid articles.
