The word forth

Please look at this sentence, guys.

We went back and forth on this question, but in the end decided that...

Does the word forth here the past simple? If so, of what verb please?
  

Top answer

Forth is an old English word that means forward, so it's not a verb. 'Went' is the verb in the simple past.
