I keep seeing “ETA” in texts, emails, and social media, but I’m not sure what it actually stands for. Can someone explain the meaning of ETA and give examples of how it’s commonly used in conversations or online? I want to understand it properly so I don’t get confused next time I see it.

ETA is an acronym, which means estimated time of arrival. It is applied to show the approximate time at which a destination should be reached by someone or something. In a case of travelling, delivery or messaging, you may use the phrase my ETA is 3 pm, to give people an idea of when to expect you.
