Etteennustav
Etteennustav is a neologistic Estonian term for a forecast or predictive output issued before the main analysis window, typically a provisional estimate intended to inform early decisions. The idea is to provide an early sense of what may happen while more data or a formal model are still being finalized.
Etymology and usage: The term blends et- meaning "before" with ennustav, derived from ennustada "to predict."
Contexts and applications: Used across domains such as meteorology, risk management, finance, urban planning, and journalism,
Limitations and reception: Because it is a relatively new concept, there is no universally accepted definition.
