In foresee and foreseeable,
see is used not in the literal sense of sight,
but in the sense of insight or foresight.
Of course, no one can predict the future with certainty,
and describing something as foreseeable
doesn’t imply that someone’s looking into a crystal ball.
When we talk about the events of the foreseeable future,
we’re talking about the things
that we can reasonably anticipate
or predict will happen in the near future.
Foreseeable is typically used in discussions about planning ahead.
Or about how someone should have planned ahead but didn’t,
as in
