provedorealso providore, "one who provides necessities and supplies," 1570s, from Portuguese provedor, Spanish proveedor "a provider, purveyor," perhaps via Venetian dialect, from an agent noun from verbs rooted in Latin providere (see provide). English had the word as well in a now-obsolete form proveditor (1580s), from Italian proveditore. updated on March 30, 2022 |
