Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms
Divinare · Præsagire · Præsentire · Prævidere · Vaticinari · Prædicere
1. Divinare denotes foreseeing by divine inspiration and supernatural aid, like μαντεύεσθαι; præsagire (præ and ἡγεῖσθαι), in a natural way, by means of a peculiar organization of mind bordering on the supernatural; præsentire and prævidere, by an unusual measure of natural talent; præsentire, by immediate presentiment; prævidere, by foresight, by an acute and happy combination. 2. Divinare, etc., are merely acts of perception, whereas vaticinatio and prædictio, the open expression of what is foreseen; vaticinatio, that of the divinans and præsagiens, like προφητεία, prophecy; but prædictio, that of the præsentiens and prævidens, prediction. (vi. 105.)
