+

+ ==Forms==

+ '''advena''' ''m'' or f (genitive advenae); first declension^(Wiktionary)

+ It is masculine or feminine, and the grammarians also report it as neuter.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[adveniō|t=to arrive]], or from [[ad-]] and the root of [[veniō|t=to come]], like [[incola|t=inhabitant]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(de Vaan 2008) De Vaan notes that it cannot be a recent derivative of the verb, though its ⟨n⟩ shows it to be a secondary formation; ⟨veniō⟩ is [[itc-pro|*gʷenjō|alt=*gwn-je/o-|t=to come]], from [[ine-pro|*gʷem-|alt=*gwm-ie/o-|t=to come]], cognate with [[osc|kúmbened|t=has come together]] and [[sa|गच्छति|tr=gácchati|t=goes, comes]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan dates it from Plautus,^(de Vaan 2008) whose ''Aulularia'' calls on citizens, neighbours, inhabitants and foreigners alike.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ As a noun it is a newcomer from abroad, an immigrant or foreigner, and of birds a migrant: Pliny the Elder calls storks winter visitors and cranes summer ones.^(OLD 2012) It is also any newcomer or stranger, as at Virgil's first tables approached by a stranger, and an intruder (Statius).^(OLD 2012) As an adjective it means “foreign”, as Cicero's law forbidding new or foreign gods, “migrant”, of birds in Varro, “exotic”, of trees, and “newly arrived”.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Döderlein contrasts it with [[exterus]] and [[externus]], a foreigner living abroad: ⟨advena⟩, like ⟨peregrīnus⟩, is one staying for a time in a country not his own.^(Döderlein 1874)

+

+ Church Latin glosses it “temporary resident, alien, foreigner, stranger”.^(Stelten 1995) In medieval sources it is a foreigner living in a town.^(Niermeyer 1976)
