‘Prescient’ may have been reinterpreted as having something to do with pressing, in the sense of some sort of compelling urgency:
Are the visions, so clear in sleep, echoes of something that has actually happened or the pressient projections of things to come. ...
Hardly the pressient, imminent threat we were led to believe.
Thank you as always for your pressient analysis.
I’ve read 2000AD since 1977 and it is scarily pressient, as your item suggests.

Well done. “Pressient” may well be the high brow equivalent of “Pressing!”
