+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|adveniō|-īcius|t1=to arrive]], built on the stem of [[m|la|adventus|t=arrival]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(TLL) [[m|la|adveniō]] is a compound of [[m|la|ad-]] and [[m|la|veniō|t=to come]], which de Vaan traces to [[itc-pro|*gwn-je/o-|t=to come]] and [[ine-pro|*gʷm-ie/o-|t=to come]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan and Köbler date it from Varro,^(de Vaan 2008)^(Köbler 2010) who uses it of moisture that comes by chance.^(OLD 2012)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It means coming from outside: Cicero says a family's honour should be defended by its own members, with no outside help needed.^(OLD 2012) The TLL calls it above all a word of the philosophers and the jurists;^(TLL) in Cicero's philosophy it is what depends on external circumstances, as external and adventitious aids, opposed to what is innate.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) It also means coming from abroad, foreign: Cicero speaks of foreign troops,^(OLD 2012) and Varro of migratory birds.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) Of property it is what comes otherwise than by inheritance from one's parents.^(OLD 2012) A ''cēna adventīcia'' is a dinner to welcome someone on arrival, as in Suetonius.^(OLD 2012) In Medieval Latin it is also a noun, an alien or immigrant and a stranger in a town.^(Niermeyer 1976) The English [[m|en|adventitious]] comes from a medieval spelling ''adventitius''.^(Etymonline)
