英英單字圖文記憶(085) - prescient

英英單字圖文記憶(085)

prescient  ['presɪrnt]

If you say that someone or something was prescient, you mean that they were able to know or predict what was going to happen in the future.【預知的;能預見未來的】

分解:前綴pre = before表示:"之前";字根sci = to know,表示:知道、了解;後綴ent = like,形容詞,表:""
分析像在之前就知道的引伸為 預知的

For example
It was a remarkably prescient vision.  這的確很有遠見。
