Question

Three of the following verbs mean to "see, understand" -- which verb does not convey both meanings?

Question 33 options:

conspicio conspicere


prospicio prospicere


cerno cernere


video videre

Answer 1

The verb that does not convey both meanings of "see" and "understand" is **prospicio prospicere**.

While "prospicio" can mean to look ahead or to foresee, it does not carry the same connotation of understanding as the other verbs do. The other three verbs—**conspicio**, **cerno**, and **video**—all imply a sense of seeing or understanding.
