Warnings formerly called back, as predicted (8)
I believe the answer is:
foreseen
'predicted' is the definition.
('foreseen' can be a synonym of 'predicted')
'warnings formerly called back' is the wordplay.
'warnings formerly' becomes 'fores' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'called' becomes 'nee' (I've seen this before).
'back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'nee' backwards is 'een'.
'fores'+'een'='FORESEEN'
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for foreseen that I've seen before include "Expected" , "Anticipated" , "No surprise" , "Predicted" , "Envisaged" .)
