Root Explanation

Foresightedly → It is formed from "fore-" (meaning before) and "sight" (from Old English "sīht", meaning vision or seeing) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action or state) and "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word describes the manner of having vision or insight about future events before they happen.

Memory Tip

Think of having 'vision' ('sight') about what is going to happen 'before' ('fore-') it occurs — that's what foresightedly means.
