From Old English 'cuman' meaning 'to come,' with the '-ing' suffix creating a gerund or noun form that can be pluralized; common in the phrase 'comings and goings.'

Kelly Says

The phrase 'comings and goings' became so popular in English that it treats movement as a balanced duality—notice how we almost never say just one without the other, creating a poetic rhythm that mirrors life's natural flow.
