Usage :
To {
Anticipate }, {
Expect }.
These words ,
as here compared ,
agree in regarding some future event as about to take place .
Expect is the stringer .
It supposes some ground or reason in the mind for considering the event as likely to happen .
Anticipate is ,
literally ,
to take beforehand ,
and here denotes simply to take into the mind as conception of the future .
Hence ,
to say , "
I did not anticipate a refusal ,"
expresses something less definite and strong than to say , "
did not expect it ."
Still ,
anticipate is a convenient word to be interchanged with expect in cases where the thought will allow .
[
1913 Webster ]
Good with bad Expect to hear ;
supernal grace contending With sinfulness of men . --
