Etymology
The term 'supervene' has its origins in the Latin word 'supervenire', which means 'to come upon'. It is a combination of 'super-', meaning 'above' or 'beyond', and 'venire', meaning 'to come'. This word made its way into English in the late 17th century, appearing in philosophical and legal contexts to describe events or conditions that unexpectedly follow or arise due to previously established situations. Over time, it has been adopted more broadly to indicate any sudden or unforeseen occurrence that adds to an existing state or event.
