foreseeable
Able to predict
Foreseeable describes what can reasonably be anticipated or predicted.
Legal and business contexts use it to establish responsibility: a foreseeable consequence, foreseeable harm.
The phrase for the foreseeable future means as far ahead as one can practically predict—usually implying a situation will continue indefinitely: Interest rates will remain low for the foreseeable future.
