To think about or consider something that will happen in the future; to anticipate or ponder beforehand.
From fore- (before) + think. This straightforward combination of prefix and verb literally means 'to think before,' describing the mental act of anticipating future events.
Forethink is an old-fashioned word that perfectly captures what planning really is—our human superpower of imagining future problems and solutions before they happen, which separated us from animals.
