provenance \PROV-uh-nuhn(t)s\ (noun) - Origin; source. "At this point, and assuming that the provenance is very good, I don't see more than seventy-five to a hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the whole lot." -- Elizabeth Lowell, 'Running Scared' Provenance comes from French, from provenant, present participle of provenir, "to originate," ultimately from Latin provenire, from pro-, "forth" + venire, "to come." |
