Etymology
The word 'forthcoming' originated in the mid 16th century from the combination of 'forth' and 'coming'. Initially, it was used to refer to something that was approaching or about to happen. Over time, its usage expanded to describe someone who is open, friendly, and willing to share information. The term is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts to denote things that are upcoming or have been announced but not yet happened.
