The term “prehend” is employed in literature to convey a spectrum of meanings that range from physical grasping to a more abstract notion of comprehending or even detecting subtle truths. In earlier and classical texts, it principally denotes the act of seizing or grasping—both literally and metaphorically—as seen in its basic sense of “to grasp” ([1]) and its utilization in various morphological forms ([2], [3]). This physicality is later extended into the figurative realm, where authors use it to describe the mental apprehension of concepts like justice ([4]) or to indicate the surprising detection of future events ([5]). In addition, its flexible application even finds poetic expression, allowing it to encompass notions of reproach or comprehensive understanding ([6], [7], [8]), thereby demonstrating its enduring versatility in literary contexts.
