Definition of undefined

The word "ahead" has its roots in Old English. The earliest recorded use of the word dates back to around the 10th century. It is derived from the phrase "æþeþefōn," which was a combination of "æþeþ" meaning "oar" and "fōn" meaning "" (to flow"). Initially, the word referred to the act of moving a boat or a ship away from the shore, i.e., to head into deeper waters. Over time, the meaning of the word evolved to encompass other concepts such as progressing, moving forward, or being in the lead. Today, the word "ahead" is commonly used to indicate something is future-oriented or progressing towards a goal. Despite its origins in maritime terminology, the word "ahead" has become a ubiquitous part of modern English vocabulary.
