E.T.A.
When you'll arrive
E.T.A. stands for estimated time of arrival—when someone or something is expected to reach a destination.
Originally from transportation and military contexts, it's now casual shorthand in everyday communication: What's your ETA?
ETA five minutes.
The term works for anything anticipated: ETA on that report?
