Etymology 1

From Latin tenuī (first person singular present perfect indicative of tenēre (to seize)). The N was lost, resulting in "teuī," which became "tēvī," explaining the word's current form; this change also extends to other forms (tenuistī > teuistī > tēvistī > tiveste, tenuit > teuit > tēvit > teve, etc.)
