From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   for loop
  
      A {loop} construct found in many {imperative}
      programming languages which repeatedly executes some
      instructions while a condition is true.
  
      In {C}, the for loop is written in the form;
  
         for (INITIALISATION; CONDITION; AFTER)
            STATEMENT;
  
      where INITIALISATION is an expression that is evaluated once
      before the loop, CONDITION is evaluated before each iteration
      and the loop exits if it is false, AFTER is evaluated after
      each iteration, and STATEMENT is any statement including a
      {compound statement} within braces "{..}" that is executed if
      CONDITION is true.
  
      For example:
  
         int i;
         for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
         {
            printf("Hello\n");
         }
  
      prints "Hello" 10 times.
  
      The for loop is an alternative way of writing a {while loop}
      that is convenient because the loop control logic is collected
      in a single place.   It is also closely related to the {repeat
      loop}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Free-will offering
      a spontaneous gift (Ex. 35:29), a voluntary sacrifice (Lev.
      22:23; Ezra 3:5), as opposed to one in consequence of a vow, or
      in expiation of some offence.
