The quality or state of coming forth or appearing; readiness to emerge or manifest.
Compound of 'forthcoming' (adjective or gerund) and '-ness' suffix. Follows the Old English pattern of creating abstract nouns from adjectives to denote qualities.
By adding '-ness' to 'forthcoming,' English speakers could discuss the abstract concept of emergence itself—this suffix is like a linguistic superpower for turning any adjective into a philosophical concept!
