短释义：
The prediction or prophecy itself that’s given through the act of fortune telling is also called divination. A psychic’s divination that your aunt will soon start a family is much less impressive if your aunt is obviously pregnant. You can also use divination to refer to someone’s unusual intuition, like a child who seems to know by divination when someone is feeling sad or upset.
您可以通过超自然手段看到未来的想法称为占卜。当您的朋友通过阅读杯子中的茶叶来告诉您的财富时，她声称拥有占卜的力量。

词源：
divination(n.)late 14c., divinacioun, “act of foretelling by supernatural or magical means the future, or discovering what is hidden or obscure,” from Old French divination (13c.), from Latin divinationem (nominative divinatio) “the power of foreseeing, prediction,” noun of action from past-participle stem of divinare, literally “to be inspired by a god,” from divinus “of a god,” from divus “a god,” related to deus “god, deity” (from PIE root *dyeu- “to shine,” in derivatives “sky, heaven, god”). Related: Divinatory.
Divination hath been anciently and fitly divided into artificial and natural; whereof artificial is when the mind maketh a prediction by argument, concluding upon signs and tokens: natural is when the mind hath a presention by an internal power, without the inducement of a sign. [Francis Bacon, “The Advancement of Learning,” 1605]
also from late 14c.
