forbears

forbears的音标为[fɔːrˈbeɪz]，基本翻译为“祖先；先辈”。速记技巧可以考虑使用词根记忆法，其中for-表示“前”，-bear表示“带来”，所以forbears意为“祖先”。同时，也可以联想到同根词descend，表示“下来，继承”。

Forbears这个词来源于古英语，意为祖先。它的变化形式包括其复数形式Forbears和其过去式和过去分词形式Forebore。相关单词包括：ancestor（祖先）、patrimony（遗产）、predecessor（前任）、ancestry（祖先）、genealogy（家谱）、lineage（血统）、descendant（后裔）、progeny（后代）、forefather（祖先）和ancestorial（祖先的）。

这些单词在英语中都有重要的含义，它们描述了与家族、血统和历史相关的概念。例如，patrimony意为家族财产，这反映了家族成员对共同财产的继承和尊重。predecessor意为前任，这反映了在职位或任务上的前一个或早先的人。ancestry意为祖先，这反映了家族成员对共同血统的认同和尊重。总之，这些单词都与家族、血统和历史紧密相关，是英语词汇的重要组成部分。
