_______________

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.

in Jp and Chinese counterparts, there's no Element of coming BACK

Cantonese, Mandarin: 收入 (zh) (shōurù)

Japanese: 収入 (ja) (しゅうにゅう, shūnyū), 収益 (ja) (しゅうえき, shūeki)

The image is that of money *coming [in] back*, after it has *gone out*
(as expenditure/investment). Not necessarily with any direct/causal
relation between both "flows", apart from a chronological one.
