Merriam - Webster Word of the day * futurity *

futurity
fu·tu·ri·ty fyü-ˈtu̇r-ə-tē
-ˈtyu̇r-,
-ˈchu̇r-
pluralfuturities
Synonyms of futurity
: time to come : FUTURE
: the quality or state of being future
futurities plural : future events or prospects
a
: a horse race usually for two-year-olds in which the competitors are nominated at birth or before
b
: a race or competition for which entries are made well in advance of the event
For a forward-looking word, futurity has quite the literate past. Its first known use comes from Act III of Shakespeare’s tragedy Othello, when the downtrodden Cassio, mystified about why Othello has turned against him, beseeches Desdemona to tell him whether his “offense be of such mortal kind / That nor my service past, nor present sorrows, / Nor purpos’d merit in futurity / Can ransom me into his love again.” Centuries later the Scottish writer Walter Scott wrote of events still in “the womb of futurity,” employing a phrase also used by James Fenimore Cooper, among others. Though still in use and very much useful, futurity tends to lend one’s speech or writing a lofty tone, so if the situation calls for something more down-to-earth, you may want to go back to [the] future.
In English we can express futurity with “will” and “shall.”we can scarcely imagine what observers in some remote futurity will think of civilization as it existed at the dawn of the 21st century
