Word of the day - Proleptic
I found a word that I like today: proleptic
\Pro*lep”tic\, Proleptical \Pro*lep”tic*al\, a. [Gr. ?: cf. F. proleptique.] 1. Of or pertaining to prolepsis; anticipative. “A far-seeing or proleptic wisdom.” –De Quincey.
2. Previous; antecedent. –Glanvill.

–Dictionary.com
For some odd reason, I really like that word. Proleptic. Yea.
