Etymology

Inherited from Middle French advenir, from Latin advenīre (or re-Latinized further from an Old French form avenir). Cf. also the archaic inherited doublet aveindre (pull or take something from its resting place; reach or attain something through effort), coming through a Vulgar Latin form *advenǐre or influenced by atteindre.
