previsión
forecast
noun preh-bee-SYOHN Less Common
Origin: From Latin praevisio, from praevidere (to foresee).
Also means
provision
Usage Note
Previsión covers both a forward-looking forecast (previsión del tiempo = weather forecast) and the act of providing in advance (previsión social = social security/provision). En previsión de means 'in anticipation of'. Do not confuse with precisión (precision/accuracy), which sounds similar and is a common false cognate error.
Examples
"La previsión del tiempo anuncia lluvia."
Natural Translation
The weather forecast announces rain.
Literal Translation
The forecast of-the time announces rain
