To guess or predict something in advance; to anticipate through conjecture.
Archaic word combining 'fore-' (before) + 'guess' (to estimate or predict). This compound appeared in Middle English when people wanted a word meaning 'to guess beforehand,' though it fell out of common use by the modern era.
This delightfully old word deserves a comeback—'foreguess' is much more precise than 'guess' because it specifically means you're predicting something that hasn't happened yet!
