Relatively recently, foray began to take on a broader meaning. In a sense, foray still refers to a trip into a foreign territory. These days, though, looting and plundering needn't be involved in a foray. When you take a foray, you dabble in an area, occupation, or pastime that's new to you. 1 : a sudden or irregular invasion or attack for war or spoils : raid2 : an initial and often tentative attempt to do something in a new or different field or area of activity
