Envisioning

/ɪnˈvɪʒənɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Imagining or forming a mental picture of something; picturing something in your mind.

Etymology

From 'envision' (from 'en-' plus 'vision'), with the '-ing' suffix. 'Envision' entered English in the 19th century as an Americanism, simpler and more direct than 'envisage.'

Kelly Says

'Envision' is the American favorite while 'envisage' is more British and formal. But they mean the same thing! 'Envisioning' sounds more accessible and appears constantly in modern marketing and coaching language.
