coming from

Having as source

Coming from introduces the source, origin, or perspective behind something.

It can be literal: Coming from the airport, traffic was terrible.

More often it signals the speaker's viewpoint or background that shapes their statement: Coming from a military family, I understand discipline.

The phrase where someone is coming from means their underlying perspective or motivation: I see where you're coming from, but I disagree.
