good hope
Cheerful anticipation ahead
Good hope is confident expectation of a favorable outcome, often despite uncertainty or difficulty.
The phrase emphasizes optimism grounded in reasonable belief rather than mere wishfulness: We have good hope that the treatment will work.
The Cape of Good Hope, Africa's southern tip, was named by Portuguese explorers anticipating a successful route to India.
