Definitions by but for

pre-feel 

The ability to feel what or how something would, might, could, or will feel like before one comes in contact with a thing—keeping in mind that because individuals often get what they expect, what they perceive could be biased or distorted.
Yesterday, he put his hand out to shake mine, forefeeling a sweaty hand of a sick man I didn't shake his hand. Who knows where someone's hands have been and what they were doing before that individual sticks it out for you to shake. Though sometimes it is great to shake someone's hand, in general, handshaking is a drain—a waste of time, energy, and emotion. It can also be a type of invasion of space and privacy. The ability to feel how something may feel like is also called pre-feel, or fore-feel. In the preceding sentence, I spelled the latter without a hyphen.
