'predicted' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are past participle verbs, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'english editor packs travel document' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'eng' (abbreviation).
'editor' becomes 'ed' (abbreviation).
'packs' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are packed inside).
'travel document' becomes 'visa' (I've seen this in another clue).
'eng'+'ed'='enged'
'enged' going around 'visa' is 'ENVISAGED'.

'as' is the link.
