Red face Word quiz...

I'm impressed and so humbled by all who post on this site.

I'm trying to find a word, and having no luck through the internet...can't find a "reverse dictionary" that helps.

By definition, the word I'm looking for means "past, present, future...all at the same time".

Can anyone help?

Very best regards...kmc

Re: Word quiz...

Hi and warm welcomes to you!

That is a tough one...maybe "eternity"? Not quite what you're looking for, I'm sure.

Re: Word quiz...

You're correct on both accounts...'eternity' technically covers it - AND- (but) I was looking for something different...a word that has not evolved much from its Latin origin. I hate not being able to think of it...(!)

All is not lost, however, because I gained two things from your reply...

I can settle on the word 'eternity' in the interim (to save insanity!) - AND - I found out that I know how to post! :-)

Thank you, sincerely, for your response...kmc

Talking Re: Word quiz...

kmc,

This may not be exactly what you are looking for -- however, in the book Dune by Frank
Herbert, the main character once he tried the spice discover that experienced that effect of
"past + present + future" all at the same time. Herbert kept using the word "precience" to
decribe that (check my spelling, I keep forget those silly rules "i before e except after c", etc...)

Hope this helps.

Maddog

Re: Word quiz...

Hm, that's rather interesting. I've actually been thinking about this question but I fail to find an answer to it.

Re: Word quiz...

What would the context of the word be, maybe a short word phrase would work better?
