PREVISION — [Noun] The faculty of foreseeing; visionary advance knowledge. From Middle English previsioun, from Old French prevision, from Late Latin praevisio, praevisionem ("a foreseeing"), from Latin praevideo ("to foresee"), from prae- ("before") + video ("to see"). Unlike foresight, which implies practical wisdom, or prediction, which denotes a specific forecast, prevision is the raw, unbidden faculty of prophetic sight itself. It is Cassandra's cursed knowledge of Troy's fall, the scent of ozone before the storm splits the sky, or the cold weight of dread in a sunlit room an hour before the telegram arrives—a haunting glimpse through time's keyhole, leaving one burdened with knowledge that feels less like a gift and more like a sentence.
