+ '''prōveniō''' (present infinitive prōvenīre, perfect active prōvēnī, supine prōventum); fourth conjugation^(Wiktionary)

+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|prō-|veniō|t2=to come]].^(OLD 2012)^(TLL)^(Wiktionary) The verb [[m|la|veniō]] goes back to [[ine-pro|*gʷem-|t=to come]];^(de Vaan 2008)^(Wiktionary) its present is inherited, with Latin ⟨n⟩ for the root's /m/.^(de Vaan 2008) The TLL compares the parallel compounds [[grc|προβαίνω|tr=probaínō|t=to step forward]] and Sanskrit and Avestan compounds of the same root with the same prefix.^(TLL) Cognates of [[m|la|veniō]] include [[osc|kúmbened|t=has come together]], [[m|grc|βαίνω|tr=baínō|t=to go]], [[sa|गच्छति|tr=gácchati|t=to move, come]] and [[got|𐌵𐌹𐌼𐌰𐌽|tr=qiman|t=to come]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ Its first example in the OLD is in Naevius, where new orators “came forward”, foolish youths.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ Its basic sense is to come forth or issue, and so to come forward into public notice;^(OLD 2012) Plautus has ''palam provenire'' “to come out, be divulged”.^(OLD 2012) Of crops and plants it means to come up or grow, as in Caesar, where the grain had grown scantily because of drought, and of persons and creatures to spring into being or turn up;^(OLD 2012) Ovid uses it of poems that arise from a calm mind.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ With an adverb it means to get on or turn out well or badly, a use found already in Plautus, and on its own to make good progress or prosper, as in Tacitus.^(OLD 2012) Lewis & Short note that Cicero does not use it.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Church Latin glosses it to originate, arise, succeed, result.^(Stelten 1995)
