"revenue" comes from the Latin "revenire"

[HenHanna]

this etym. doesn't make sense in that...

Descendants of Picasso (?) can make no investment and just get
Revenues.


_______________

The word "revenue" has its origins in the Latin term "revenire," which
means "to come back" or "to return." This Latin word is formed from the
prefix "re-" (meaning "back" or "again") and "venire" (meaning "to
come").


In Middle French, the term evolved to "revenu," which referred to income
or profits returning to a person or entity.

By the late 14th century, it was adopted into English as "revenue,"
primarily referring to the income generated by a government or a
business.



Summary:

Latin: "revenire" (to come back)

Middle French: "revenu" (income or profits)

English: "revenue" (income, especially for governments or businesses)

This evolution reflects the notion of income returning to its source.

The "re" doesn't apply.
Revenue is merely the incoming money to a company or government.
If you want it to imply more, then that's your opinion.

Try and justify your claim. The best I can make of it is that income is
causally related to expenditure. Which is refuted daily by modern economics.

Profits in a capitalist economy are not causally connected with
expenditure

Has a recruit been previously cruited?

Words and meaning have disparate pathways. The study of meaning is best
left to philosophers; for they have sufficient nous to handle it. In the
meantime make an effort to cease your puerile postings; they make you
sound like an idiot. Or maybe you can talk in other groups; but stay out

I think you're newish here. We've been subjected to the hen's
clucking for years, that has left no doubt that he doesn't just sound
like an idiot, he is an idiot.

Unusually, I'm cross-posting here, because I suspect that your response
didn't reach the latest victim of HenHanna.

Ah, thanks, I didn't notice that. In "I think you're newish here,"

The image is that of money *coming [in] back*, after it has *gone out*
(as expenditure/investment). Not necessarily with any direct/causal
relation between both "flows", apart from a chronological one.
