- future: [14] Future comes via Old French future from Latin futūrus ‘going to be, about to be’, which was used as the future participle of esse ‘be’. It was a descendant of the Indo-European base *bheu- or *bhu-, which originally denoted ‘grow’, and also produced English be, the German present first and second person singular forms bin and bist, and the Latin perfect tense of esse (fuī ‘I was’, etc).
=> be - future (adj.)

In grammar, of tense, from 1520s.
