The future is the time that has not yet happened, including everything that will come after the present moment. People often talk about the future when making plans, predictions, or hopes.
“Future” comes from Latin “futurus,” meaning “about to be,” from “esse,” meaning “to be.” It entered English through French and kept the sense of something that is yet to exist.
The future feels like a place we’re all walking toward, but in reality it exists only as ideas in our minds until it becomes the present. Every plan you make is a tiny attempt to shape that unknown space before you arrive there.
