Advent

Advent

<add-vent>

coming; appearance; entrance;

the arrival of someone or something important.

The advent of the electric guitar in 1931 changed music forever.

Memory trick:
advent reminds of vent
a vent is an air tunnel into a building
something comes out of a vent

At work:
Our sales zoomed with the advent of our new product.
