Etymology
The word Adventism comes from advent, meaning 'coming', from the Latin parts ad- 'to' and venire 'to come', and you can think of the church season Advent before Christmas to remember it. So, Adventism is the belief that Christ will 'come' again, often with the idea that this return may happen soon.
