Etymology
Borrowed from Latin adveniō, advenīre (“to come to, to arrive”). Cf. also the inherited doublet aveindre, avoindre, advaindre (“pull or take something from its resting place; reach or attain something through effort”), coming through a Vulgar Latin form *advenǐre or influenced by ateindre, ataindre (modern atteindre).
