オーメン

noun

omen

A sign or portent of a future event, often used in a literary or dramatic context. The English loanword carries a slightly more exotic or Western nuance compared to native Japanese words like 前兆 (ぜんちょう).

• 黒くろ猫ねこが道みちを横おう切ぎるのは不ふ吉きつなオーメンだと言いわれている。

  A black cat crossing your path is said to be a bad omen.
