- "vor" (prefix meaning "ahead" or "in advance")
- "sorgen" (verb meaning "to care" or "to worry")
Meaning:
"Vorsorgen" means to take precautions, to provide for (especially for the future), or to make provision. It's often used in contexts like health, retirement, or safety, implying actions taken in advance to prevent problems.
Similar words:
- "absichern" (to secure)
- "vorsichtig sein" (to be cautious)
