Answer 1

According to the Oxford English Dictionary:

2) (pl. fora) (in an ancient Roman city) a public square or marketplace used for judicial and other business. Origin ME: from Latin, lit. what is out of doors.

[There is sometimes confusion resulting from people reading Latin dictionaries and thinking that the entry "forum fori" means that "fori" is the plural form. In fact the dictionary is listing the nominative and genitive singular, so that the reader can deduce how the noun declines: in this case "forum" is a neuter 2nd declension noun ending in -um, so declines like "bellum".]
