Something which foreshows a future event; a prognostic; a present fact indicating something to come. Joy and shout, presage of victory.

To forebode; to foreshow; to indicate by some present fact what is to follow or come to pass. A fog rising from a river in an autumnal morning presages a pleasant day. A physical phenomenon cannot be considered as presaging an event, unless it has some connection with it in cause. Hence the error of vulgar superstition, which presages good or evil from facts which can have no relation to the future event.

To foretell; to predict; to prophesy. Wish’d freedom I presage you soon will find.

To form or utter a prediction; with of. We may presage of heats and rains. We may presage of heats and rains.
