Do you ever have the feeling that something bad is about to happen? That’s called a presentiment. The word presentiment comes from the Latin word præsentire, meaning “to sense beforehand.” Some people call it a "gut feeling." For example, if you leave for a trip and something doesn't feel right, you may chalk it up to just being nervous. But later, when your flight is cancelled and you lose your luggage, you may remember that little twinge — the presentiment that something bad was about to happen. All forms of 'presentiment' will appear on average once every 1893 pages. presentiment sentiment sentimental sentimentise sentimentize sentimentalise sentimentalism sentimentality sentimentalize sentimentally unsentimental sentimentalisation sentimentalist sentimentalization unsentimentally |
