1、invent 发明:in- + venire「来」(ven-/vent-),本义是「碰到、找到」,后来才指「想出新东西」。
2、同根:adventure 冒险、event 事件、avenue 通路、venture 风险生意。
3、和 vein(静脉,拉丁 vena 血管)没关系,别拿「血管里流着创新的血」去记。

英语词源

invent
invent: [15] Invent originally meant ‘find’ (‘Since that Eve was procreated out of Adam’s side, could not such newels [novelties] in this land be invented’, wrote the anonymous author of a 15th-century song). It was based on invent-, the past participial stem of Latin invenīre ‘come upon, find’, a compound verb formed from the prefix in- ‘on’ and venīre ‘come’.

The sense ‘devise’, which developed via ‘discover’, actually existed in the Latin verb, but English did not take it on board until the 16th century. The derivative inventory [16] was borrowed from medieval Latin inventōrium ‘list’, an alteration of late Latin inventārium, which originally meant a ‘finding out’, hence an ‘enumeration’.

=> adventure, inventory
invent (v.)
late 15c., "find, discover," a back-formation from invention or else from Latin inventus, past participle of invenire “to come upon; devise, discover” (see invention). Meaning "make up, think up" is from 1530s, as is that of "produce by original thought." Related: Invented; inventing.
