About

The Chinese word "预料" is formed by combining two characters: "预", which conveys the idea of "in advance" or "beforehand", and "料", which in this context means "to anticipate" or "to estimate". Together, they create a compound word where the first character modifies the second, emphasizing the act of anticipating or forecasting something prior to its occurrence, thus yielding the meaning "to foresee" or "to predict". This formation relies on the semantic fusion of both components to express a concept centered on preemptive judgment or expectation.
