先感覺到：等待中的情緒

事情還沒發生，你的心已經先跑到那裡去了。人明明還在現在，卻有一部分已經站在那個未來的時刻上——正因為先跑過去了，它會反過來影響此刻：可能是心裡那股按捺不住的騷動，也可能是你現在就開始動手準備。所以這個字同時裝著「先感覺到」和「先做好」兩件事，底下是同一個動作：先一步到達。From the word’s history
From Latin anticipare, from ante- 'before' + capere 'to take' — literally 'to take beforehand'. The word still means grabbing hold of a future moment before it arrives, whether in feeling or in preparation.
追到拉丁文 anticipāre：ante-（在…之前）+ capere（拿、抓住），字面是「事先拿走」。這個「先一步拿到手」的畫面，正好解釋了為什麼這個字可以既指情緒也指準備——不管是先嚐到那份興奮，還是先把東西備好，都是把未來的一部分提早抓到現在來。

先做好：因為預料而準備
