An archaic or variant spelling of 'foreseeable,' describing something that can be anticipated or predicted before it occurs.
From obsolete 'forsee' + '-able' (capable of being). The modern standard form 'foreseeable' replaced this spelling as English orthography standardized in the 16th-17th centuries.
Legal documents still use the idea of 'foreseeable harm'—meaning injury a reasonable person should have anticipated—showing how this ancient concept still shapes modern law.
