Morphology

forrader = (transparent) = forward + er

A dialectal/archaic variant clearly derived from 'forward' meaning 'in a forward direction', so the sense is directly recoverable by learners familiar with 'forward'. [Postprocessing: moved 'forward' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

The word forrader is an old dialect form of forward, and a helpful way to remember it is to see it as 'forward' with an extra sound. The part for- means 'before', so forrader means moving 'ahead' or 'onward', which is why it is used for going forward.
