Morphology

envisioned = envision (transparent) = en + vision + ed

Regular past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'envision'; meaning is directly 'imagined'.

Etymology

Envisioned comes from en- 'in' and vision 'sight', just like the English word vision. So, to envision is to 'see' or 'picture' something in your mind, and an envisioned future is one you have 'imagined' or 'pictured' ahead of time.
