Originating from Latin eventus, from evenire, to happen or to turn out, evento entered Italian through medieval Latin usage. The plural form eventi follows the standard Italian pattern for masculine nouns ending in -o.

In mathematics and probability, the singular evento denotes a defined outcome or a set of outcomes; the plural eventi is used when discussing multiple outcomes. In everyday use, eventi refers to instances of happenings, whether planned, such as concerts or conferences, or unplanned occurrences.

In computing and information technology, evento is commonly used to describe a signal or action in event-driven programming; phrases like gestore di eventi and ricezione di eventi are standard Italian terms.

Culturally, the word is used in phrases like eventi culturali or grandi eventi to describe prominent gatherings and public occurrences. The concept is widely understood across Italian-speaking communities and has equivalents in many languages, including French événements and Spanish eventos.
