Etymology
'non-clairvoyant' originates from the prefix 'non-' meaning 'not' and the word 'clairvoyant', which comes from French 'clair' meaning 'clear' and 'voyant' meaning 'seeing'.
'clairvoyant' changed from the French word 'clairvoyant' and eventually became the modern English word 'clairvoyant'.
Initially, 'clairvoyant' meant 'clear seeing', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'having the ability to perceive events in the future'.
