单词	matakite
释义	matakite /ˈmatəˌkɪteɪ / noun (plural same) NZ 1A Maori person with supernatural insight who sees visions of the future: a person calling themselves a matakite posted a message on her Facebook page... A female matakite may be found at the village. The matakite was a person who assisted the tohunga by diagnosing a patient's illness. The song was composed by the matakite. 1.1 [mass noun] The supernatural ability to see visions of the future: she will hold an eight-week residency which centres on her matakite... The lineage of prophetic tradition and the acceptance of the power of matakite infuses all the major Maori movements, religious and political. I suppose in some societies they call it the third eye, but in our society we call it the gift of matakite, which means the ability to foresee. With her gift of matakite or second sight, she deepens her connection to traditional Maori values and the politics of Maori culture in a colonised world. Origin Mid 19th century: Maori.
