Recorded in English from 1433, "income from property or possessions", from Middle French revenue, from Old French [Term?] (“a return”) (modern French revenu), the prop. feminine past participle of revenir (“come back”) (=modern French), from Latin revenire (“to return, come back”), from re- (“back”) + venire (“to come”).

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun That which returns, or comes back, from an investment; the annual rents, profits, interest, or issues of any species of property, real or personal; income.
  2. noun Hence, return; reward; as, a revenue of praise.

Etymology [F. revenu, OF. revenue, fr. revenir to return, L. revenire; pref. re- re- + venire to come. See Come.]
