Etymology: Foretellingly is a plain formation: the verb "foretell" (to predict, to tell beforehand) plus the adjective-forming suffix "-ing," which here works as a present participle, and then the adverb suffix "-ly." "Foretell" itself is an English compound of "fore-," meaning "before" in time, and "tell," so the word is simply "telling before," with the adverbial ending added last. The adverb is a later English creation, built on the same base as the verb "foretell," which has been in use since Old English.
