Plural of divination; multiple instances of discovering the future or unknown facts through supernatural insight, prophecy, or interpretation of signs.
From 'divination' (from Latin 'divinatio,' meaning prophecy or the art of foretelling) plus plural '-s.' The term entered English through Middle French and has been used since medieval times.
Divinations across cultures—tarot in Europe, I Ching in China, bones in Africa—use completely different methods but share the belief that patterns in nature reveal hidden truths, showing how universal this human need to know the future is.
