guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic *willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic *wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from *wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin *bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].

wulcume, wilcume, from Old English wilcuma (“a wished-for guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic *willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic *wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from *wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin *bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].

guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic *willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic *wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from *wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin *bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].

guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].

wulcume, wilcume, from Old English wilcuma (“a wished-for guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic *willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic *wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from *wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin *bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].

wilcume, from Old English wilcuma (“a wished-for guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].

wulcume, wilcume, from Old English wilcuma (“a wished-for guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic *willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic *wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from *wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin *bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].

guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].

wulcume, wilcume, from Old English wilcuma (“a wished-for guest”; compare also wilcume (“welcome!”, interjection)), from Proto-West Germanic *willjakwemō, from Proto-Germanic *wiljakwemô (“a wished-for arrival or guest”), possibly from *wiljakwemaną (“to be welcome”), equivalent to will (“desire”) + come (“comer, arrival”). The component wil- was replaced by wel- when the sense “guest” of the second component was no longer understood, likely under influence from the adverb well. Cognate with Scots walcome, West Frisian wolkom, Dutch welkom (earlier willecome), German willkommen, German Low German willkamen, Danish velkommen, Norwegian Bokmål velkommen, Norwegian Nynorsk velkomen, velkommen, Swedish välkommen, Icelandic velkominn, Faroese vælkomin, and Old French wilecome (whence Middle French willecomme (“welcome”)), from Germanic.\nThe verb is from Middle English welcomen, wolcumen, wilcumen, from Old English wellcumian, wylcumian, wilcumian (“to welcome, receive gladly”).\nSimilar constructions are found in Romance languages, such as Italian benvenuto, Spanish bienvenido, French bienvenu, Catalan benvingut, Portuguese bem-vindo and Romanian bun venit, meaning “[may you have fared] well [in] coming [here]”. These do not derive from a Classical Latin root, as no similar construction in Latin is found to exist, but are instead presumed to be the result of a calque from, considering the ruling elite of the Germanic kingdoms which succeeded the Western Roman Empire, a Germanic language into Proto-Romance (Vulgar Latin; see Latin *bene venūtus, and compare perdōnō and compāniō for similar historical calques).", "forms": [{"form": "welcomes", "tags": ["present", "singular", "third-person"]}, {"form": "welcoming", "tags": ["participle", "present"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["participle", "past"]}, {"form": "welcomed", "tags": ["past"]}], "head_templates": [{"args": {}, "expansion": "welcome (third-person singular simple present welcomes, present participle welcoming, simple past and past participle welcomed)", "name": "en-verb"}], "hyphenation": ["wel‧come"], "lang": "English", "lang_code": "en", "pos": "verb", "related": [{"word": "welcome back"}, {"word": "welcome home"}], "senses": [{"categories": ["English terms with quotations"], "examples": [{"ref": "1897 December (indicated as 1898), Winston Churchill, chapter V, in The Celebrity: An Episode, New York, N.Y.: The Macmillan Company; London: Macmillan & Co., Ltd., →OCLC:", "text": "But Miss Thorn relieved the situation by laughing aloud,[…].
