/ˌbẽj̃ˈvĩ.du/
Etymology
Inherited from Vulgar Latin *bene venītus, presumably a calque of a Frankish term, derived from Proto-Germanic *wiljakwemô (“a welcome guest or arrival”), from which many modern Germanic forms descend, such as English welcome. By surface analysis, bem (“well”) + vindo (“come”).
