To describe or depict something in advance or beforehand; to give an account of something before it has occurred.
From 'fore-' + 'describe' from Latin 'de-' + 'scribere' (to write). The prefix suggests the description comes before the event.
Science fiction authors effectively 'foredescribe' future technologies—Jules Verne's 1870 descriptions of submarines and airships were so detailed that people claimed he had ESP, when really he was just a brilliant extrapolator.
