预见

• 拼音: yù jiàn
• 汉字拆解: 预 = 予 + 页 (in advance); 见 = 目 + 儿 (eye + person — to see, to perceive)

含义

To foresee; to anticipate; foresight; foreknowledge. The capacity to perceive or predict future developments through reasoning, insight, or experience.

More rational and analytical than 预感 (premonition, which is intuitive). 预见 implies deliberate reasoning and informed judgement about likely future states. Used as both verb (预见到 — to foresee) and noun (缺乏预见 — lack of foresight). Key collocations: 战略预见 (strategic foresight), 难以预见 (difficult to foresee), 可预见的未来 (the foreseeable future).
