(The Greek word for "appearance" (epiphaneia 2015 in Greek, noun) used in 2 Timothy 4:1 comes from the Greek word for "apparent" (epiphanés 2016 in Greek, adjective), which comes from the Greek word for "to-appear" (epiphainó 2014 in Greek, verb), which comes from the Greek words for "upon" (epi 1909 in Greek, preposition) and "is-appearing" (phainó 5316 in Greek, verb) used in Matthew 24:27).
