[edit]Etymology
[edit]From com- + Proto-Celtic *oweti, the latter being inherited from Proto-Indo-European *h₁éwH-e-ti (“to help”). It is a close cognate of Sanskrit अवति (ávati, “to help”).[1]
The verbal noun comét and the deponent preterite forms are suppleted from a form of Proto-Celtic *emeti also prefixed with com-. Compare do·eim of similar meaning.[2]
