Premonish is a transitive verb that refers to the act of forewarning someone or something about a potential event or danger that may occur in the future. It commonly carries a sense of caution or a feeling of impending harm or misfortune.
The term originates from the Latin word "praemonere," which means "to forewarn." When one premonishes, they provide a forewarning or prediction based on intuition, instinct, or a sense of premonition. This can be done through verbal communication, written text, gestures, or any other form of expression.
Premonish often involves a sensation of knowing or feeling that something is going to happen before it occurs. It implies an ability to perceive or anticipate events before they unfold and communicate these insights to others. However, it is important to note that premonitions may not always turn out to be accurate, as they are often based on intuition rather than concrete evidence.
The use of the term "premonish" suggests a sense of urgency or importance associated with the information being shared. It can serve as a tool for individuals to stay cautious, take necessary precautions, or reconsider their plans in the interest of personal safety or well-being.
Overall, to premonish is to forewarn or predict potential events or misfortunes based on intuition or a sense of premonition, allowing individuals to take appropriate actions or precautions, or simply be mentally prepared.

Etymological and pronouncing dictionary of the English language. By Stormonth, James, Phelp, P. H. Published 1874.
The word "premonish" is derived from the Old French word "premonester" or "premonistre", which ultimately comes from the Latin word "praemonēre". "Praemonēre" is a combination of the prefix "prae" meaning "before" and "monēre" meaning "to warn". Therefore, the etymology of "premonish" suggests that it means to warn or forewarn someone in advance.
