From Scottish English, as past participle of preve, a Middle English variant of prove [1] [2] – compare woven (from weave) and cloven (from cleave), [1] both of which feature -eve → -oven. Preve died out in England, but survived in Scotland, where proven developed, initially in a legal context, as in “The jury ruled that the charges were not proven.” [1] See usage notes for historical usage patterns.

Earlier, from Late Latin probō(“test, try, examine, approve, show to be good or fit, prove”, verb), from Latin probus(“good, worthy, excellent”), from Proto-Indo-European *pro-bʰuH-s(“being in front, prominent”), from *pro-, *per-(“toward”) + *bʰuH-(“to be”).

Morphologically prove +‎ -n.
