In English now often in forlorn hope (1570s), which is a partial translation of Dutch verloren hoop, in which hoop means "troop, band," literally "heap," and the sense of the whole phrase is of a suicide mission.
Sense of "forsaken, abandoned" is 1530s that of "wretched, miserable" first recorded 1580s.Ī common Germanic compound (cognates: Old Saxon farilosan, Old Frisian urliasa, Middle Dutch verliesen, Dutch verliezen, Old High German virliosan, German verlieren, Gothic fraliusan "to lose"). (my suggestion) - This is perfectly acceptable. 2: hope this help - Informal and wrong as there is no subject-verb agreement between 'this' and 'help'. You are doing well is a more personal way to check on someone and make sure that life is treating them correctly. Technically, it is not a complete sentence as it does not have a subject. I Hope You Are Doing Well I hope you are doing well is one of the best synonyms you can use for hope all is well. OED's examples of forlese end in 17c., but the past participle persisted. 1: hope this helps - Informal but commonly used as the subject (I) is implied. So as by exercise of faith to carry out God’s purpose. In the Mercian hymns, Latin perditionis is glossed by Old English forlorenisse. The force of the preposition gives rather to the sentence the meaning of grounded his faith upon hopethat internal subjective hope that was strong within him, though there were no objective grounds for hoping. Mid-12c., forloren "disgraced, depraved," past participle of obsolete forlesan "be deprived of, lose, abandon," from Old English forleosan "to lose, abandon, let go destroy, ruin," from for- "completely" + leosan "to lose" (from Proto-Germanic *lausa-, from PIE root *leu- "to loosen, divide, cut apart").
