From down- + come.

Why this word is great

DOWNCOME — [Noun] A tumbling or falling down; a sudden or heavy fall; an overthrow; ruin; destruction. From down- (indicating downward direction) + come (Old English cuman, "to move toward"). Unlike "downfall" (which charts a slow erosion of power) or "descent" (which implies deliberate movement), "downcome" is the brutal physics of collapse. It is the apple thudding from the bough, the drunk stumbling headlong into the gutter, the tower of blocks surrendering to gravity’s indifferent tug—a reminder that the earth is always waiting to catch us, whether we fall or are pushed.
