seers
Those who foresee
Seers is the plural of seer—one who sees, especially in a prophetic or visionary sense.
A seer perceives what others cannot: future events, hidden truths, spiritual realities.
The word carries mystical weight, evoking ancient oracles and prophets rather than ordinary observers: The seers foretold the kingdom's fall.
In casual use, seers may describe anyone with unusual foresight.
