A doubt, fear, or premonition felt beforehand; an earlier presentiment or sense that something bad will happen.
From 'fore-' (before) + 'misgiving' (a feeling of doubt). This compound describes an intuitive negative feeling that precedes events.
Writers love 'foreboding' but 'foremisgiving' captures something subtler—it's the internal gut feeling before anything bad happens, the whisper rather than the scream.
