Hi;
Onset means the beginning of an event. Here are some examples:
They watch the mid-Atlantic Ocean closely with satellites from the onset of every hurricane season.
The harvest should be in the barn by the onset of winter.
At the onset of a cold, I usually have a sore throat.
The vaccines have to be in the pharmacies well before the onset of flu season.
