"Prospicient" is a rarely used word that means having good prospects for the future. Its spelling is derived from the Latin word "prospectus" which means "looking forward." To understand its pronunciation, we can break it down into its IPA phonetic transcription, which is /ˌprɑː.spɪˈʃent/. The stress is on the second syllable, and the beginning "pro" sounds like "prah." The "p" in "spicient" is pronounced softly like "sh," and the final "ent" rhymes with "went."
