- 1設想、預期（偏英式）
To envisage something is to hold it in your mind as likely, or as a plan you are counting on. A school might envisage two hundred students next year. A city might envisage a new train line. “We do not envisage any more hiring” means we do not think that will happen.
Though actually, this word is more British than American. In the US, people often say envision, expect, or see instead. It sounds at home in meetings, notices, and news, a little formal for chat. It is not seeing with your eyes, and it does not have to be a beautiful dream — it can be dry and practical. Next to envision, envisage is often less “a picture in the head” and more “what we think is coming.”
組成From French envisager: en-（in）+ visage（face）. Equivalent to en- + visage — as if you bring the future up to your face and look at it.
