Question

prescient adj.预知的；有先见之明的 (1) 回溯2002年他对伊拉克战争的预见，如今被醒目地证明是先见之明。 You probably know that the Latin prefix pre- means "before," so you might be able to figure out that the word prescient, from the verb praescire, means to "know beforehand." People like economists, sports commentators, and political analysts often get tagged with this word, because it's part of their job to sift through the data and make predictions — and sometimes they get it right. And when they're not just lucky, we might say they're prescient.
