premeditated
意味: Thought out or planned in advance, especially of a crime or harmful act; deliberate rather than spontaneous or accidental.
Premeditated is overwhelmingly associated with criminal law, where premeditation is an aggravating factor that can elevate the seriousness of an offence. 'Premeditated murder' is distinguished from manslaughter precisely because the perpetrator planned the killing beforehand. Outside legal contexts, the word implies cold calculation — a premeditated insult, a premeditated act of sabotage. It is the antonym of 'spontaneous' and 'impulsive.' It collocates with 'premeditated murder,' 'premeditated attack,' 'premeditated act,' and 'clearly premeditated.'
