词源
anticipate (v.)1530s, “to cause to happen sooner,” a back-formation from anticipation, or else from Latin anticipatus, past participle of anticipare “take (care of) ahead of time,” literally “taking into possession beforehand,” from anti, an old form of ante “before” (from PIE root *ant- “front, forehead,” with derivatives meaning “in front of, before”) + capere “to take” (from PIE root *kap- “to grasp”).
Later “prevent or preclude by prior action” (c. 1600) and “be aware of (something) coming at a future time” (1640s). Used in the sense of “expect, look forward to” since 1749, but anticipate has an element of “prepare for, forestall” that, etymologically, should prevent its being used as a synonym for expect. Related: Anticipated; anticipating.Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
预期(v.)1530年代,“导致更早发生”,来自预期的反向形成,或者来自拉丁语anticipatus,anticipare的过去分词“提前采取(照顾)”,字面意思是“提前占有, ” 来自 anti,ante 的旧形式“之前”(来自 PIE 词根 *ant-“前面,前额”,衍生词意为“在前面,之前”)+ capere“采取”(来自 PIE 词根 *kap- ”去掌握”)。后来“通过先前的行动阻止或排除”(约1600年)和“意识到(某事)在未来的时间到来”(1640年代)。自 1749 年以来一直在“期望、期待”的意义上使用,但预期有一个“准备、预先”的元素,从词源学上讲,应该防止它被用作期望的同义词。相关:预期;期待。相关条目及更多
