Why “forefeel” is a great word
FOREFEEL — [Verb] To sense or perceive an event beforehand through intuition or presentiment. From the English prefix fore- ("before") + the verb feel. First recorded in 1570–80. Unlike "foretell," which focuses on verbal prophecy, or "anticipate," which implies reasoned expectation, forefeel is a visceral, wordless alarm. It is the tightening of skin before the storm breaks, the sudden chill in a sunlit room before the phone rings, or the inexplicable catch in the breath for a loved one far away—the body's silent and ancient literacy, mourning an event that has not yet occurred in time.
