benefit

benefit: [14] The element bene- occurs in a wide variety of English words. It comes from Latin bene ‘well’, a close relative of Latin bonus ‘good’. Amongst its combinations are benediction [15], literally ‘saying well’, hence ‘blessing’, benefaction ‘doing well’ [17], and benevolent ‘wishing well’ [15]. Benefit is related to benefaction, since it too comes ultimately from Latin bene facere, but it took a more indirect route to English, from Latin benefactum ‘good deed’ via Old French bienfait and Anglo- Norman benfet.

benefit (n.)

benefit (v.)
