Skyfall

Heavens coming down

Skyfall is a fall from the sky—rain, hail, or debris descending from above.

The word gained prominence as the title of the 2012 James Bond film, where it names the Bond family's ancestral estate in Scotland.

In that context, skyfall suggests something dramatic arriving from above, or perhaps everything coming crashing down: When the skyfall comes, will you be ready?
