UK: ˌfɔːθˈkʌmɪŋ | US: ˌfɔːrθˈkʌmɪŋ
adj. about to happen or appear in the near future

The word "forthcoming" combines "forth" (Old English "forþ," meaning "forward" or "onward") and "coming" (Old English "cuman," meaning "to arrive"). Originally, it described something physically approaching ("coming forth"). Over time, it evolved to describe future events or a person's readiness to communicate openly. The logic reflects movement toward visibility—either in time (upcoming events) or behavior (transparency).
