Morphology
prospicience = prospicient (semi-transparent) = pro + spic + ience
Formed from pro- (forward) + spic (look) + -ience; the meaning 'foresight' is derivable in principle but the constituent forms are rare and not familiar to average learners.
Etymology
The word prospicience comes from Latin parts pro- meaning 'forward' and spic meaning 'to look', and you can see the same root in words like prospect and inspect. So, prospicience is the ability to 'look forward' and foresee what will happen.
