Most people have heard this word every day. Like when someone says “I anticipate we are going to run out of water so I packed extra.” Or “He anticipated the sales would drop so he put items on clearance.” Anticipate mainly means to look ahead and prepare. So you can anticipate increased sales, but only if you are also making preparations to handle that increase in sales; for example, "We added staffing in anticipation of increased sales."
