Pronunciation
- (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /əˈfɔːˌmɛn.ʃənd/

Adjective
aforementioned (not comparable)
- Previously mentioned.
- The PA system broadcast a long list of names in the morning, but it wasn't until later that they requested the aforementioned students report to the health clinic.
Usage notes
When it modifies a noun phrase, it is generally preceded by the definite article the, and the combination functions as a determiner rather than a simple adjective. It can also occur before a cardinal as in the aforementioned two papers instead of the two aforementioned papers, though the latter is also acceptable.
