约公元1200年, aventure, auenture 指“偶然发生的事情,运气,幸运”,源自于古法语 aventure(11世纪)指“机会,意外,事件,发生”,源自拉丁语 adventura (res) 指“(一件)即将发生的事情”,来自于 adventurus 的女性形式,该词是 advenire 的未来分词,意为“到达,到达,到达”。这来自于 ad “到”(参见 ad-)+ venire “来”(来自 PIE 词根 *gwa- 的一个后缀形式,意为“去,来”)。
该词义经过了“风险; 危险”(试验一个人的机会),约公元1300年,和“危险的事业”(14世纪晚期)发展到“生活中的新奇或令人兴奋的事件,显著的发生”(1560年代)。
早期它还指“奇迹,奇迹; 神奇事物的描述”(13世纪)。英语在15世纪至16世纪恢复了 -d-; 在法语中,大约在同一时间试图恢复它,但被拒绝了。 Venture 是15世纪的一个变体。德语 Abenteuer 是法语单词的借用,显然是受 Abend “晚上”的影响而古怪地变形。
