a & b

Predict: The etymology of this word is Latin (from præ- "before" plus dicere "to say").
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prediction

Computer: Computer derives directly from the Latin computus and computare. Both Latin words mean the same as the English verb compute: to determine by mathematical means (in other words, count).
