Origin

Middle English (in the sense 'finding out, discovery'): from Latin inventio(n-), from invenire 'discover' (see invent).

‘Finding out, discover’ rather than creating is the base sense of invention, which comes from Latin invenire ‘discover, come upon’ from in-‘into, upon’, and venire ‘come’. Inventory (Late Middle English) ‘a list of what is found’ is from the same source.
