The term can also refer to having a foretaste of something expected: The police are anticipating trouble with rowdy fans after the game. To hope is to look forward with desire and usually with a measure of confidence in the likelihood of gaining what is desired: I hope to see you soon. To await is to wait expectantly and with certainty: She is eagerly awaiting your letter.expected (ɪkˈspɛktɪd) adjanticipatedThesaurus| Adj. | 1. | expected - considered likely or probable to happen or arrive; "prepared for the expected attack"unsurprising - not causing surpriseunexpected - not expected or anticipated; "unexpected guests"; "unexpected news" |
