The term 'augur' has its roots in ancient Rome, where it referred to a religious official tasked with observing and interpreting signs or omens, particularly related to bird behavior, to foretell future events or divine the intentions of the gods. Over time, the word evolved to also mean 'predictor' or 'prophet' in general.
