?Which word?
Keep apart, asked very often: forego (go before; 'the foregoing paragraph' means the one before) and forgo (do without: 'forgo a holiday'); in modern use forego is often used as a spelling of forgo, but exams prefer forgo for 'give up'.
इन्हें अलग रखिए, यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: forego (पहले आना; 'the foregoing paragraph' अर्थात पिछला) और forgo (के बिना रहना: 'forgo a holiday'); आधुनिक प्रयोग में forego प्रायः forgo की spelling के रूप में आता है, पर परीक्षा में 'त्यागना' के लिए forgo बेहतर है।
§Grammar and usage
The prefix fore- means before (foresee, forecast); for- means away or against (forgo, forbid, forget).
Prefix fore- का अर्थ पहले (foresee, forecast); for- का अर्थ दूर या विरुद्ध (forgo, forbid, forget)।
“Collocations, idioms and sayings
