So far we failed, as predicted (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foresaw

'predicted' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'so far we failed' is the wordplay.
'failed' indicates an anagram.
'so'+'far'+'we'='sofarwe'
'sofarwe' with letters rearranged gives 'FORESAW'.

'as' is the link.

(Other definitions for foresaw that I've seen before include "Anticipated" , "Expected" , "Predicted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
