Provenance

from the French provenir, "to come from", means the origin, or the source, of something, or the history of the ownership or location of an object.

Every object my 2-year-old son owns has to come from someone or somewhere: “comes from Auntie Kate”, “comes from Granny”, “comes from shop”, “comes from garden”. He obsessively catalogues the origin of his food, toys and clothing.
