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): [ˈwiː.toː] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈviː.to] === Verb === vītō (present infinitive vītāre, perfect active vītāvī, supine vītātum); first conjugation to avoid, evade Synonyms: ēvītō, ēvādō, dētrectō, ēlūdō, refugiō, exeō, āversor, abstineō, parcō, dēclīnō, fugiō Antonyms: dēstinō, intendō, tendō, petō, quaerō, affectō, studeō, spectō, circumspiciō to shun ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Related terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== → Italian: vitare === References === === Further reading === “vito”, in Charlton T.
