Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Middle High German 'zukunft', from Old High German 'zukumft', meaning 'a coming' or 'approach'. It is formed from the verbal prefix zu- (to, toward) andkunft, a nominalization of kommen (to come). Over time, the meaning shifted from the abstract concept of approach to the temporal period yet to come.
