Futurition

/ˌfjuːtʃəˈrɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The state, quality, or process of being future or having future existence; futurity.

Etymology

From future + -ition suffix (from Latin -itio), creating an abstract noun similar to 'futurity' but with a more technical, philosophical flavor.

Kelly Says

Futurition is the kind of word you find in dense philosophy texts—it sounds like it should mean something highly specific, but it's basically just a fancier way of saying 'futurity,' showing how academia sometimes creates synonyms for their own sake.
