What’s etymology of “foreign”

The word “foreign” comes from the Old English “foren,” which itself originated from the Latin word “foris” meaning “outside.” Over time, this evolved into “foreign” in Middle English, influenced by the Old French word “forain,” which derived from the Latin “foranus,” meaning “on the outside, exterior.” These roots reflect the fundamental meaning of “foreign” as something from outside one’s own country or community. The concept of “foreign” inherently relates to boundaries, whether literal or metaphorical, distinguishing what is familiar and local from what is different and external.
