ABSTRACT
Frem is derived from the Old Norse fram, the Old High German fram, meaning “forward,” and gang is derived from the Old Norse gangr, which means “to walk” or “to go.”1 Fremskridt can be used synonymously with Fremgang, though literally it means a “step forward.”2 In Kierkegaard’s day both Fremgang and Fremskridt meant “movement forward” or “progress.”
