Definition
Third person singular present tense of predict; to say or estimate that something will happen in the future based on knowledge or evidence.
Etymology
From Latin praedicere, combining prae- (before) and dicere (to say). The word entered English in the 17th century, originally meaning 'to foretell' and evolved to include scientific forecasting.
Kelly Says
The word 'predict' is fascinating because it literally means 'to say before' - yet modern prediction often relies more on mathematical models and data analysis than mystical foresight. Weather forecasters, for instance, use chaos theory and acknowledge that their predictions become exponentially less reliable beyond about a week.
