auguring
Reading future signs
Auguring is predicting or serving as an omen.
To augur is to foretell based on signs or portents—originally from Roman priests who interpreted bird behavior.
Something that augurs well or augurs badly signals a favorable or unfavorable outcome: The early reviews are auguring well for the film's success.
The noun augur refers to the person doing the predicting.
