anticipative

/æntˈɪsɪpətˌɪv/ adj

Of or pertaining to anticipation; inclined to anticipate; expectant.

Word Origin The Latin 'capere' means 'to take, seize' — it's the root of 'capture', 'accept', 'concept', and 'receive'. 'Anticipate' combines 'ante' (before) and 'capere' to mean 'to take before' — to act ahead of time. 'Anticipative' describes that forward-taking quality. The same root gives us 'participate', 'perceive', and 'recipe'.
