Definition
A feeling of anxiety or unease that occurs before something happens; a premonition or foreboding.
Etymology
From Latin 'ante' (before) + 'qualm' (from uncertain origin, possibly from Dutch or Old English, meaning a sudden feeling of unease). The compound suggests anxiety that precedes events.
Kelly Says
This word captures something psychologically real—that gut feeling warning you something might go wrong before any logical evidence appears, which modern neuroscience shows comes from your brain processing subtle signals.
