forecast
의미: A prediction about what will happen, especially regarding weather or financial matters
A forecast is a prediction or estimate of future events, most commonly used for weather predictions ('the weather forecast') and financial projections ('sales forecast'). As a verb, it means to predict what will happen based on current information and analysis. Unlike 'prediction,' forecast implies more scientific or data-based estimation.
