Term: FORESTALL

Definition: To stop something from happening or to prevent someone from doing something. In the past, it also meant to stop a person or animal from entering a certain area or to buy goods with the intention of selling them at a higher price. This was considered illegal because it caused prices to go up in many places.

Definition: To prevent an event or result from happening. It can also mean to intercept or obstruct a person or animal, or to buy goods for the purpose of reselling at a higher price.

Example 1: The company implemented safety measures to forestall any accidents in the workplace.
