Word of the Day: Vatic

Tweet

Again, like yesterday, I learned this word from Words With Friends. VATIC: describing or predicting what will happen in the future I was unfamiliar with the word. It's from the Latin. It means being prophetic or a seer. But it also comes from the Old English Word meaning "poetry". There's an old saying, "Only thin lines separate poetry, prophecy, and madness." So the word "vatic" is kind of a crossover between prophecy and poetry. Did you know the word? Have you ever used it or would you find yourself using it?
