Brit.

/prᵻˈdɪkt/, U.S.

/priˈdɪk(t)/,

/prəˈdɪk(t)/

Forms: 1500s–1600s praedict, 1600s– predict.

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymons: Latin praedict-, praedīcere.

Etymology: < classical Latin praedict-, past participial stem of praedīcere to say beforehand, to give warning of, to foretell, prophesy, to appoint beforehand, to prescribe, recommend, to advise < prae- pre- prefix + dīcere to say, tell (see dictum n.). Compare Middle French, French prédire (c1170 in Old French in sense ‘to ordain’, c1430 in sense ‘to foretell’). Compare earlier predicted adj.It is noteworthy that although both Florio (1598) and Cotgrave (1611) use the word prediction to gloss, respectively, Italian predizione and French prédiction , neither uses the word predict to gloss the corresponding verbs (Italian predire , French prédire ). The verb is not in Shakespeare, nor even in Pope; it occurs once in Milton. In dictionaries it appears first in Bailey (1721). predicted adj. is attested earlier, but in a different sense; N.E.D. (1907) includes a corresponding earlier sense of the verb ‘to mention previously in a discourse or document’, but gives as illustration only quots. 1546 at predicted adj. 1 and 1599 at predicted adj. 1; no incontrovertible evidence of such a sense of the verb has come to light.

a. transitive. To state or estimate, esp. on the basis of knowledge or reasoning, that (an action, event, etc.) will happen in the future or will be a consequence of something; to forecast, foretell, prophesy. Also with clause as object.
