The quality or state of being able to predict or know about something in advance.
From 'foresee' + 'ability' (suffix for capability). Modern legal and philosophical term emphasizing predictability and anticipation.
In law, 'foreseeability' is the key to whether someone is legally responsible—if you couldn't reasonably predict a danger, the law won't punish you for it happening.
