What does “clairvoyant” mean?

clairvoyant

Oh, this is a cool one —

A clairvoyant is someone who people believe can see things that normal people can't — like future events, or things happening far away, using a kind of special mental power. Think of a woman sitting at a table with a crystal ball, telling you what's going to happen in your life. That person is a clairvoyant.

You might hear it like: "She went to see a clairvoyant who told her she'd meet someone special soon." Or people use it in a joking way too — like if your friend guesses something perfectly, you might say, "Wow, are you clairvoyant or something?!"

It can also work as an adjective: "He had an almost clairvoyant ability to know when something was wrong."

Basically, it means having a mysterious power to know things you shouldn't be able to know.
