event
/ɪˈvent/·이벤트·noun
a planned occasion; a happening
LatinCEFR A2
Root
e- (out) + Latin 'venire' (to come)
Latin eventus (an outcome, that which comes out) → Middle French event → English event
In a word
e- (out) + vent (come) = 'that which comes out'. An event is not any happening — it's what surfaces as the result of some current. The Latin keeps that quiet emphasis on outcome. Even a concert "event" carries that weight — what finally appears after the prep.
Examples
It was the biggest event of the year.
Many events shaped her life.
In the event of fire, use the stairs.
