+ '''adveniō''' (present infinitive advenīre, perfect active advēnī, supine adventum); fourth conjugation, impersonal in the passive^(Wiktionary)
+
+ ==Etymology==
+ It is from [[ad-|t=to]] and [[veniō]] “to come”.^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(Etymonline)
+
+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==
+ The OLD's first citations are from Livius Andronicus, of a day arriving, and Ennius, of arriving.^(OLD 2012) Naevius has ''praetor advenit'' “the praetor arrives”.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Köbler dates Livius Andronicus 280/260–before 200 BC.^(Köbler 2010)
+
+ ==Semantic evolution==
+ It meant to come to, arrive at, reach, as Plautus' arrivals from the country or Athens, and in the present participle “on arriving”.^(OLD 2012)^(Gaffiot 2016) It meant to be imported from abroad, of ships to put in, of possessions to come into someone's hands, as in Sallust, of conditions to set in, arise, and of dates to come.^(OLD 2012)
+
+ In Ecclesiastical Latin it meant to come, happen.^(Stelten 1995) It survives in Italian ''avvenire'' and French ''avenir'' “future”.^(Wiktionary) Its participle gave Old French ''avenue'' “arrival”, whence [[en|avenue]] about 1600, and the future participle ''adventūra'' “things about to happen” gave [[en|adventure]] about 1200.^(Etymonline) [[en|advent]] comes from its noun [[adventus]].^(Etymonline)
