Front foreward first head portico/porch

(Egl Rush (forward) from ruser Frc drive back unrelated)

Hbr R(o/e)sh head (goat)
Rus Ras first
Ltn Frontem

front (n.)

late 13c., "forehead," from Old French front "forehead, brow" (12c.), from Latin frontem (nominative frons) "forehead, brow, front; countenance, expression (especially as an indicator of truthfulness or shame); facade of a building, forepart; external appearance; vanguard, front rank," a word of "no plausible etymology" (de Vaan). Perhaps literally "that which projects," from PIE *bhront-, from root *bhren- "to project"

Perhaps cognate with porch/portico (overhang in front of Mbuti dome hut to keep rain/sun from interior)?
Cf plow (before oxen pulling) & prow of bow (ship), afore,

porch (n.) c. 1300, porche, "covered entrance; roofed structure, usually open on the front and sides, before an entrance to a building," from Old French porche "porch, vestibule," from Latin porticus "covered gallery, covered walk between columns, arcade, portico, porch," from porta "city gate, gate; door, entrance," from PIE root *per- (2) "to lead, pass over

Prow most frontal edge of the ship's bow
