More explanation: Provenance comes from the Latin "pro" (from) and "venire" (come), so that's where an item comes from, while Providence (capital P) is "the care and control of God or of a force that is not human in origin" (Cambridge dictionary).

It is, thank you! I always get those two mixed up.

Providence is like providing something (provide ence) and Provenance is like it stems from something like a vine (pro vine ance).
