An omen or sign; divination by observing birds; archaic term for auspices or favorable signs.
From Latin 'auspicium' (augury from birds), shortened or altered form used historically in English. An archaic variant of 'auspice' or 'auspices.'
This is an obsolete English word for augury that almost nobody uses anymore—it's the kind of word you find in old poetry and that makes modern readers pause to look up its meaning.
