Meaning & usage
alternative form of fētus
Where this word comes from
Introduced after 600 C.E. by Isidorus (c. 560–636 C.E.), who wrote “Etymologies”, much of which was erroneous, partly because his Latin was, as described, “not pure”, and appears to have been misled by the Ancient Greek φοιτός (phoitós), itself a later corruption of φυτός (phutós, “fertile”).
