Encyclopedia Britannica



ADVENTURE (from Lat. res adventura, a thing about to happen)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 235 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADVENTURE (from Lat. res adventura, a thing about to happen) , chance, and especially chance of danger ; so a hazardous enterprise or remarkable incident. Thus an " adventurer," from meaning one who takes
part
  in some speculative course of action, came to mean one who lived by his wits and a person of no
character
 . The word is also used in certain restricted legal connexions.
Joint
  adventure, for instance, may be distinguished from partnership (q.v.). A
bill
  of adventure in maritime law (now apparently obsolete) is a writing signed by the shipmaster declaring that goods shipped in his name really belong to another, to whom he is responsible. The
bill
  of
gross
  adventure in
French
  maritime law is an
instrument
  making a
loan
  on maritime security.
