Romanian borrowed "eventual" from French "éventuel," which in turn came from Latin "eventus," meaning outcome or occurrence. "Eventus" is the past participle of "evenire," formed from "e-" (out) plus "venire" (to come). So the word originally described something that might come out or occur, not something that will happen after a delay.
