HAR-bin-jer] - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone or something that indicates or foreshadows a future event is a harbinger. Near synonyms include portent, precursor, herald, and omen. Example: "We did not know it at the time, but that windy, rainy storm was a harbinger of the devastating winter that was on its way." In the twelfth century a harbinger was an innkeeper, someone who provided overnight lodging. In the following century, the meaning shifted, and the harbinger was the person who was sent ahead to seek lodgings, often for a group of royal or military travellers. In the 1500s, the meaning shifted again, to the more abstract modern sense of a forerunner of upcoming events. The source of the word is Middle French herberge (lodging, hostelry), from an ancient root which also gave us harbor, herald, and harness. - ------------------------------ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe harbinger Btw, if you are an AOL subscriber the above instruction will work for your EVERY time.
