die Vorsorge, -n
provision
Das sind Maßnahmen, die man heute trifft, um Probleme oder Krankheiten in der Zukunft zu verhindern.
The German word "Vorsorge" is a noun that translates to "precaution" or "provision". It is composed of "vor" (before) and "sorgen" (to care, to worry). "Vorsorge" refers to measures taken in advance to prevent problems or ensure well-being, commonly used in contexts such as health, financial planning, or risk management.
Similar words include "Prävention" (prevention) and "vorsorglich" (preventively).
Differences:
- "Prävention" specifically emphasizes preventing adverse effects or health issues, while "Vorsorge" encompasses a broader idea of preparation and acting with foresight generally.
- "Vorsorglich" is an adverb and not a noun, and refers specifically to taking preventive actions.
