Etymology
Uncertain:
- Some connect the word with invocō (“to invoke”), as if some kind of frequentative form;
- Some derive the word from Proto-Indo-European *weyh₁-to- (“pursued”), from *weyh₁- (“to chase, pursue”).[1]
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /inˈu̯iː.toː/, [ɪnˈu̯iːt̪oː]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /inˈvi.to/, [iɱˈviːt̪o]
Verb
invītō (present infinitive invītāre, perfect active invītāvī, supine invītātum); first conjugation
Conjugation
1At least one use of the archaic "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").
