Definition
Something that is capable of being in the future or is able to happen at a future time.
Etymology
From future + -able suffix; the Latin 'futurus' (about to be) plus the Germanic '-able' (capable of being).
Kelly Says
This is a delightfully rare word that philosophers and science fiction writers might love—it reminds us that English lets us combine simple words in creative ways to express ideas that barely exist elsewhere.
