  • Some derive the word from Proto-Indo-European *weyh₁-to- (pursued), from *weyh₁- (to chase, pursue).[1]

Conjugation

[edit]

1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
