Happening in the due course of time (8)

I believe the answer is:

eventual

(Other definitions for eventual that I've seen before include "Final - happening as a consequence" , "Coming at last, ultimate" , "Net value (anag.)" , "coming after some time" , "Money such as bail" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
