The act or practice of auguring; divination or foretelling of the future; an interpretation of signs or omens.
From Latin 'auguratio' (divination or foretelling), derived from 'augurari' (to divine). The noun form captures the practice of interpreting signs to predict what will happen.
Ancient auguration was actually more sophisticated than it sounds—augurs developed complex systems for interpreting bird flights, animal entrails, and other signs in structured, almost scientific ways!
