I don't think it's a compound, it's the past participle of, which in turn is from Latin (whence French, Spanish, Portuguese bienvenir:). Mglovesfun (talk) 16:50, 21 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I can't find any references to such a verb in Spanish or Catalan. The French definition seems to suggest that it was back-formed from the compound + ; if it were really the past participle of  then the latter ought to mean 'to come well'. This would also seem likely in the face of the English, German  and Swedish , which are also old compounds of well + past participle of come. —CodeCat 17:20, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
