Support fellow with twitch, being prescient (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

prophetic

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'prescient' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'support fellow with twitch' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'prop' (prop up can mean to support).
'fellow with' becomes 'he' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'twitch' becomes 'tic' (tic is a kind of twitch).
'prop'+'he'+'tic'='PROPHETIC'

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prophetic that I've seen before include "Divinatory, prescient" , "Foretelling events" , "divination" , "inspirational" , "Foreseeing future events" .)
