Why this word is great
PREMONSTRATE — [Verb] To show or indicate something beforehand; to foreshow. From Latin praemonstratus, past participle of praemonstrare, from prae ("before") + monstrare ("to show"). Unlike "predict," which foretells through word or inference, or "portend," which suggests an ominous, often intangible sign, to premonstrate is a neutral, deliberate act of visual demonstration. It is the shadow of a hawk sliding over the field before the bird itself is seen, the tremor in the surgeon's hand that hints at the coming slip, or the first yellow leaf, purposefully displayed against the summer green—a silent grammar of causality written in the world for those who know how to look.
