Morphology

foresaid = said (transparent) = fore + said

Clear, direct prefixation: 'fore' (before/previous) + 'said' (mentioned) yields 'mentioned earlier'; the formation is semantically regular though the word is formal/archaic.

Etymology

Foresaid comes from fore- meaning 'before' and said meaning 'spoken', so it literally means 'said before'. That's why the adjective foresaid is used to mean 'mentioned earlier' in the same document.
