Forum (plural fora or even forums) occurs as public meeting place for discussion or lecture. These are the transliteration of the Latin noun which referred to a Roman city's marketplace or public square. It likewise describes an ancient Roman city forming a epicentre of judicial business & public affairs. This meaning successively stems from either a Latin verb ferre, meaning "to bring" (therein feel alluding to the goods traders bring to market).
Forum is besides the medium (as a newspaper) of open discussion or even expression of ideas
