Claroscopy

Claroscopy: noun. The word claroscopy was devised in a series of attempts to describe the faculty of seeing things before they happen. Though the word "clairvoyance" eventually came out victorious, claroscopy and similar short-lived words, most notably clarividence, continue to haunt the nightmares of people in favour of the rationalisation of the English language, most notably people in the Movement for the Rationalisation of the English Language founded by Lewis Carroll.
