## Latin
### Etymology

Of uncertain origin.
* De Vaan derives the word from an unattested *vītus, a back-formation of *dēvītus (“avoiding”), itself from dē- (“de-, away, from”) + Proto-Indo-European *weyh₁- (“to chase, pursue”).
* Some (Can this etymology be sourced?) refer it to Proto-Indo-European *weyk- (“to yield, give way”). If this is correct, cognate with Ancient Greek εἴκω (eíkō).
* Alternatively from the same root as (dī-)vidō (“I divide”) and vidua (“widow”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁weydʰh₁- (“to separate”); compare Proto-Germanic *wīdaz (“wide”).
