Hall. #: ''He would probably have died by the hand of the executioner, if indeed the executioner had not been '''anticipated''' by the populace.'' -- [[w:Thomas Babington Macaulay|Thomas Babington Macaulay]]. # to [[take up]] or [[introduce]] (something) prematurely. #: ''The advocate plans to '''anticipate''' a part of her argument.'' # to know of (something) before it manifests. #: ''to '''anticipate''' the pleasures of a visit'' #: ''to '''anticipate''' the evils of life'' #: ''Please '''anticipate''' a journey of an hour from your house to the airport'' # to eagerly wait for (something) #: ''Little Johnny started to '''anticipate''' the arrival of Santa Claus a week before Christmas.'' ====Usage notes==== The words ''[[anticipate]]'' and ''[[expect]]'' both regard some future event as likely to take place.
