Best Answer

To augur is to predict the future or presage. Augurs (priests) in ancient Rome predicted the outcome of various undertakings by studying the flight of birds. This was separate from the haruspex, the study of the entrails of sacrificed animals.

(*not to be confused with auger, a drilling or transporting screw.)
