eventually
UK: ɪˈvɛn.tʃu.ə.li | US: ɪˈvɛn.tʃu.ə.li
adv. at some later time, in the end
adv. as a final result or outcome
The word "eventually" traces back to the Latin eventus (meaning "outcome" or "result"), derived from evenire ("to happen," from e- "out" + venire "come"). The suffix -ual (from Latin -alis) forms adjectives, and -ly converts them into adverbs. Over time, "eventual" (relating to a final outcome) evolved into "eventually," emphasizing the culmination of a process. The logical progression reflects a shift from "something that happens" to "the final result after a series of events."
