Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: advenir

Borrowed from Latin: adveniō

In summary

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 *advenĭre or influenced by atteindre.
