释义

futuritionn.

/fjuːtjʊˈrɪʃən/
Etymology: < medieval Latin futūritiōn-em, irregularly < futūrus future adj. and n.As a metaphysical term the medieval Latin word is used e.g. by St. Bonaventura Opera ed. Peltier 1864 II. 65 b, in discussions relating to God's foreknowledge of events. A different sense, = ‘the act of forecasting the future’, occurs in a letter of Bishop Jewel, 1 Aug. 1559, in Zurich Lett. ser. 1 (Parker Soc.) Apparently 22. The Parker Soc. translator renders Jewel's valde deditum futuritionibus by ‘mightily addicted to futuritions’; but the sense is not otherwise authenticated either in Latin or English.
