Morphology
ushering + in
The meaning 'the act of introducing or beginning something' is directly built from 'usher' (to guide or introduce) plus the directional particle 'in' (into a new state or period); the gerund/nominal form simply names that action. This compositional, bringing‑in sense is predictable for learners who know both constituents, so it is transparent.
Etymology
Ushering in comes from the image of an usher who guides people in to their seats at the start of an event. So 'ushering in' became a way of saying 'introducing' or 'beginning' a new time or change.
