noun
A visionary perception that combines elements of foresight with illusion, where an individual believes they can predict or foresee outcomes, but their insight is clouded by misconceptions or unrealistic expectations. It represents a form of foresight that is distorted by wishful thinking or misjudgment.
Etymology:
A blend of “delusion” (a false belief or perception) and “foresight” (the ability to predict or anticipate future events), suggesting a perception that appears prophetic but is fundamentally flawed.
Example Sentence:
The entrepreneur’s delusight led them to invest heavily in an untested market, convinced it would be the next big thing despite all signs to the contrary.
