_______________
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. They depend on other factors.

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,"
"here" meant alt.usage.english

Good grief. I thought I'd have a quick look to see what other idiocies
the hen has been polluting alt.language.latin with, but the the results surpassed my worst dreams. 32 out of the last 34 threads were started by
the hen (and more before that)!
