+ ==Etymology==

+ It is the frequentative of [[m|la|adveniō|t=to arrive]], formed with [[m|la|-tō]].^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(TLL) ⟨veniō⟩ is from [[itc-pro|*gʷn-je/o-|t=to come]] and [[ine-pro|*gʷm-ie/o-|t=to come]], according to de Vaan.^(de Vaan 2008) Cognate with [[osc|kúmbened|t=has come together]] and [[sa|गच्छति|tr=gácchati|t=goes, comes]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Plautus has “the tenth month is already drawing near” in the ''Truculentus'', and Ennius “many others arrive, whose names poverty hides”.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to come towards or approach, as Varro's “what is carried is in motion and approaches”, and of troops with hostile intent, as Cicero's report that Afranius was coming with great forces.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It is to arrive or turn up, of people and of things such as supplies, as in Tacitus.^(OLD 2012) Of the tide it is to come in, as in Mela, and of wind and rain to threaten, as Virgil's rising east winds.^(OLD 2012) Of time and events it is to draw near, as in Plautus, and of sums to come close to a figure, as in Cicero's letters.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ The TLL counts it three times in Plautus and once each in Terence, Varro and Caesar, with seventeen examples in Cicero's letters but none in his speeches.^(TLL) Church Latin glosses it “come”.^(Stelten 1995)
