Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *h₂ent- Proto-Indo-European *-s Proto-Indo-European *h₂énts? Proto-Indo-European *h₂m̥bʰíder. Proto-Italic *amβi- Latin ambi- Proto-Indo-European *(H)yeh₁- Proto-Indo-European *-kt Proto-Indo-European *(H)yéh₁kt ~ *(H)ih₁kéntder. Latin iaciō Latin amiciō From ambi- + iaciō. Schrijver suggests that this term may exemplify a proposed type of derivational process whereby, at least in Italo-Celtic, the *-yeti suffix (from which derives the Latin fourth conjugation) was added to an athematic base, with a resulting factitive meaning akin to "bring about that one is the object of X." Thus, the sense "to throw," as a result of the prefix ambi- (“around”) and the suffix *-yeti, perhaps became "to bring about that something is cast around oneself," which then evolved into "to cover oneself in clothes," ultimately yielding the sense of "to dress."
