Definition
A person who foresees or predicts the future; someone with the ability to anticipate events.
Etymology
From 'foresee' + 'er' (agent suffix). This term for a predictor or prophet evolved from Middle English usage describing seers and prophets.
Kelly Says
A 'foreseer' is technically someone with genuine prophetic ability, while a fortune-teller just claims to have it—the distinction mattered deeply in medieval belief systems.
