AUSPICATE Meaning and Definition

1. The verb "auspicate" refers to the act of seeking or taking signs or omens to predict the outcome of future events. It is commonly used in the context of ancient pagan religious practices, divination, and fortune-telling. Auspication involves observing natural phenomena, such as the flight of birds, the behavior of animals, or the patterns in celestial bodies, in order to interpret or forecast upcoming events.

   Derived from the Latin word "auspicium," meaning divination or observation of birds, auspicate is associated with the belief that events in the natural world are intrinsically linked to the course of human affairs. By examining and interpreting these signs, individuals may gain insight into future occurrences or seek guidance regarding certain decisions or actions.

   The practice of auspication draws upon a sense of spirituality and mysticism, characterized by the belief in a higher power or supernatural force influencing the world. Individuals who engage in auspication are often revered as having special abilities or knowledge to interpret symbols and omens beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

   In modern usage, "auspicate" can also be employed metaphorically to describe the act of seeking signs or indications to forecast the success or outcome of any endeavor or undertaking. It underscores the idea of observing clues or signals that may offer insight into potential future developments.

Etymology of AUSPICATE

The word "auspicate" derives from the Latin verb "auspicari", which is composed of two elements: "auspex" and the suffix "-ari". "Auspex" means "an observer of birds" and is derived from the Latin words "avis" (bird) and "specere" (to look at). In ancient Roman culture, observing the flight patterns and behavior of birds was believed to be a means of divine communication and used to determine the success or failure of endeavors. Thus, "auspicari" originally meant to observe birds for the purpose of divination and then more broadly came to mean to initiate or start something with the guidance of divine approval or support. Over time, the term "auspicate" has evolved to refer to the act of commencing or initiating something with favorable or, in a broader sense, propitious conditions.
