Etymology
From Latin proveniō (“to come forth, originate; to thrive, propser”). Modelled on Latin indīviduālis, from Latin indīviduus, from Latin dīvidō.
A modern coinage intended as a complement to individual in accordance with the Nordic model of a social-individual agreement. American (and perhaps Anglo-Saxon) culture tends to see indivual as good and society (or collective) as bad, and other cultures can elevate society above and suppress the individual, whereas in the Nordic realm the social-individual paradigm expressly sees both as good and necessary. Unlike collective it does not imply a whole seen without its individual elements, and the Nordic cognates derived from Proto-Germanic *samhaldiją implicitly encode this concept (and how society is translated into these languages).
