Guest Posted October 15, 2001 Share Posted October 15, 2001 Yea you wanna know what it means? It means THIS! for·te1 (fôrt, fôrt, frt) n. Something in which a person excels. The strong part of a sword blade, between the middle and the hilt. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [French fort, from Old French, strong, from Latin fortis. See fort.] Synonyms: forte, 1métier, specialty, thing These nouns denote something at which a person is particularly skilled: Writing fiction is her forte. The theater is his métier. The professor's specialty was the study of ancient languages. Mountain climbing is really my thing. Usage Note: The word forte, coming from French fort, should properly be pronounced with one syllable, like the English word fort. Common usage, however, prefers the two-syllable pronunciation, (fôrt), which has been influenced possibly by the music term forte borrowed from Italian. In a recent survey a strong majority of the Usage Panel, 74 percent, preferred the two-syllable pronunciation. The result is a delicate situation; speakers who are aware of the origin of the word may wish to continue to pronounce it as one syllable but at an increasing risk of puzzling their listeners. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- for·te2 (fôrt) Music adv. & adj. Abbr. f In a loud, forceful manner. Used chiefly as a direction. n. A note, passage, or chord played forte. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Italian, strong, forte, from Latin fortis. See bhergh-2 in Indo-European Roots.] Heh there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
