==Etymology==

==Etymology==

The word comes from Latin ''providentia'' "foresight, prudence", from ''pro-'' "ahead" + ''videre'' "to see". The current meaning of the word (Divine Providence) derives from the sense "knowledge of the future" or omniscience, which is the privilege of God. The initial meaning of ''providere'' remains in 'to provide' = "to take precautionary measures".
