I love this definition for a word that really looks like a terrible misspelling:
"pres. indic. 1st & 3d pers. sing. of Forwete. Obs. --Chaucer."
forwete?

You mean like forwerpe? (OED says it was used in the 13th and 14th centuries to mean "To cast away, cast off, reject.") Or do you forwerpe that relationship?
