Where does welcome come from?

"Welcome" in modern-day English comes from the Old English word "wilcuma", which literally meant well-come (as in, may you have arrived here well). This in turn came from the Old Norse "velkominn", meaning the same thing (vel + kominn in Old Norse was "well + come"). Though Old English and Old Norse are Anglo-Saxon languages, the same sort of idea appears in the Romance languages as well. For example, in Spanish it is "bienvenido" (bien = well, venido = come), French "bienvenue" (bien+venue), Italian "benvenuto" (ben+venuto), all meaning "well come".
