Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Middle English 'distant' (from Old French and Latin 'distare', meaning to stand apart) combined with 'future' (from Old French 'futur' and Latin 'futurus', meaning about to be). The hyphenated compounding became prominent in speculative fiction and scientific discourse to denote epochs far removed from the present time.
