Definition
A priest in ancient Rome who practiced divination by examining the entrails of sacrificed animals.
Etymology
From Latin 'haruspex' or 'aruspex,' possibly from Etruscan origin. The word combines what may be 'hara' (entrails) with 'specere' (to look), literally 'entrail-looker,' and was adopted from Etruscan religious practices.
Kelly Says
Haruspices were ancient Rome's data scientists—they collected patterns from thousands of animal organs, creating mental databases of 'normal' versus 'abnormal' livers and hearts, making predictions based on statistical pattern recognition from organs.
