Adventitia
"The outermost connective tissue covering of any organ, vessel, or other structure.

""Adventitia"" comes from the Latin ""adventicius"" meaning ""foreign, strange, extraneous, coming from abroad or from outside."" Other English words that stem from ""advenire"" include ""adventure"" and ""avenue."" A related term is ""adventititious"" meaning ""coming from an external source or occurring in an unusual place or manner."" When a doctor or nurse listens to the chest or abdomen, adventitious sounds are those that are normally not heard coming from the chest or abdomen."

See also serious adverse event.
