I was graduated in 1940 with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Social Science but a major in Mathematics, a paradoxical combination that was prognostic of my future interests.

American Economist

Use 'prognostic' to describe the ability to predict future occurrences, especially to hint at outcomes.

Future Prediction

In medical context, 'prognostic' often relates to the likely outcome of a disease.

Medical Condition

'Prognostic' doesn't always imply bad outcomes; it can also suggest positive future events.

Not Always Negative

As a noun in the medical field, 'prognostic' refers to symptoms or signs indicating the future course of a condition.

Medical Indicator

'Prognostic' should not be confused with a diagnosis, which is the identification of a disease.

Not a Diagnosis

Use 'prognostic' to describe predictions that are based on data or analyses, not just guesses.

Based on Data

In an academic context, 'prognostic' can refer to research outcomes that predict future patterns.

Academic Research

Prognostic information can aid in planning, but it's important to remember predictions are not certainties.
