Latin

Etymology

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”).

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /ˈu̯iː.toː/, [ˈu̯iːt̪oː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /ˈvi.to/, [ˈviːt̪o]
