What does it mean to be clairvoyant? The term “clairvoyance” is French in origin, and it is derived from the combining of two old roots that imply “clear” and “seeing” or “vision.” While most people associate clairvoyance with seeing the future, it may also refer to the capacity to gather knowledge about a subject, place, or even an item. Except for the hypothesis of extrasensory perception, there is typically no rational explanation for such unusual insight. According to the belief, someone with a specific ability of “clear-sightedness” may see people or events that are “far,” possibly in time (past or present) or even in space.
