fordern, verb, from the equivalent Middle High German vordern, Old High German fordarôn, ‘to demand, request, challenge, summon’; corresponding to Dutch vorderen; a specifically German form, originally unknown to the other dialects, yet the word found its way from German into Danish and Swedish. It is a derivative of vorder.
