Hoping

/ˈhoʊpɪŋ/ verb

Definition

Present participle of 'hope'; feeling expectant desire or trust that something desired will happen.

Etymology

From Middle English hopen, from Old English hopian 'to hope, expect, look forward to'. Related to hop in the sense of 'leap' or 'spring', suggesting hope originally carried connotations of eager anticipation or forward movement toward a desired outcome.

Kelly Says

Hope is one of the few emotions that exists entirely in future tense - you can't hope for something that's already happened or currently happening. Psychologists consider it essential for mental health, and it's uniquely human in its ability to motivate action toward uncertain but desired outcomes.
