inventory

From Middle English inventorie, from Medieval Latin inventōrium, an alteration of Late Latin inventārium, itself from Latin inveniō, meaning "to find out" or "to come upon."

The word passed from Latin into Late Latin and Medieval Latin before settling into Middle English, carrying its sense of a discovered or recorded set of things along the way.

It shares its root, Latin inveniō, with words built on the idea of finding or coming upon something, though the facts here don't name a specific English cognate.
