Etymology

[edit]

Inherited from Vulgar Latin *bene venūtus, 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, ben (well, apocopic form of bene) +‎ venuto (come, past participle of venire)
