To come to or arrive at a place; to happen or occur (archaic or literary usage).
From Latin 'advenire' (ad- 'to' + venire 'to come'). This verb is largely obsolete in modern English but appears in historical texts and older literature.
Medieval and Renaissance writers used 'advene' to describe dramatic moments—'what has advened here?' meaning 'what has come about or happened?'—it's the ancestor of our modern word 'advent.'
