ETA
When you'll arrive
ETA stands for estimated time of arrival—the projected moment when a person, vehicle, or shipment will reach its destination: What's your ETA?
The term originated in military and aviation contexts but now appears in everyday scheduling: The delivery has an ETA of 3 p.m. (Lowercase eta is a Greek letter.)
