Appartenant à provençal ancien: revenir

Appartenant à moyen français: revancher

Appartenant à ancien français: revenchier

Appartenant à ancien français: vengier

Appartenant à français: venger

Appartenant à ancien français: venchier

Hérité de moyen anglais: revengen

In summary

From Middle French revenge, a derivation from revenger, from Old French revengier (possibly influenced by Old Occitan revènge (“revenge, comeback”), from Old Occitan revenir (“to come back”)), a variant of Middle French revancher (whence deverbal French revanche), from Old French revenchier. The variants Old French vengier (whence French venger) and Old French venchier are both descended from Latin vindicō, with stress-conditioned different parallel development in the inflectional forms. Compare avenge and vengeance.
