  • n. Synonyms Prediction, Prophecy, Divination, Prognostication, augury, vaticination, soothsaying. Prophecy is the highest of these words, ordinarily expressing an inspired foretelling of future events, and only figuratively expressing anything else. It is the only one of them that expresses the power as well as the act: as, the gift of prophecy. Prediction may or may not be an inspired act; it is most commonly used of the foretelling of events in accordance with knowledge gained through scientific investigations or practical experience, and is thus the most general of these words. Divination is the act of an augur or an impostor. Prognostication is the interpretation of signs with reference to the future, especially as to the course of disease. See foretell, prophet, inference.
