Word origin
The word 'auspice' comes from the Latin 'auspex', which means a diviner or one who observes birds. The ancient Romans practiced augury, which involved interpreting the flight patterns of birds to predict the future. Over time, 'auspice' came to refer to signs or omens in general, often linked to the will of the gods. In modern usage, 'auspice' retains some of its original sense of divine favor or support, but it is more commonly used in the context of general signs or indications of future events.
