Morphology
upcoming = coming (transparent) = up + come + ing
The adjective is clearly analyzable as 'up' + 'coming' (from the phrasal verb 'come up'/'coming up'), so the meaning 'about to occur' is directly inferable.
Etymology
The word upcoming is built from the simple parts up and come, with -ing added. Come means 'to move toward' and up gives the idea of 'near', so upcoming literally means 'coming up' and is used for something 'happening soon'.
