Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
Did you know?
Envisage has been part of the English language since the 17th century.
It was sometimes used with
the sense of "to meet squarely" or "to confront"
(visage means "face" so the word suggests face-to-face encounters);
however, that sense is now archaic
and the word is primarily used in senses
that involve having a particular conception
or mental picture of something
(visage also means "appearance" or "aspect").
In the early 20th century,
some usage commentators began deriding envisage
for reasons not entirely clear, declaring it "undesirable."
Today, time and usage have won out,
and envisage is widely used and accepted,
though it is slightly formal in tone.
Its near twin envision ("to picture to oneself"),
which has been with us since the 19th century,
is interchangeable with envisage
in many contexts and is slightly less formal.
