Origin

Old English, from Latin adventus 'arrival', from advenire, from ad- 'to' + venire 'come'.

adventure from Middle English:
The meaning of adventure has changed over the centuries. In the Middle Ages it meant ‘anything that happens by chance’ or ‘chance, fortune, or luck’, and came from Latin advenire ‘to arrive’. Gradually the idea of ‘risk or danger’ became a stronger element and later evolved into ‘a dangerous or hazardous undertaking’, and still later into ‘an exciting incident that happens to someone’. Compare accident. Related words are advent (Old English) ‘coming, arrival’ and adventitious (early 17th century) originally describing something happening by chance. See also revenue
