Borrowed from Latin advenīre. Doublet of avenir.
advenir (first-person singular present advinc, first-person singular preterite advinguí, past participle advingut); root stress: (Central, Valencia, Balearic) /e/
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.
