Latin

Etymology

Possibly from an earlier *amnāre < *amlāre < ambulāre (walk). Alternatively, perhaps from *ambitāre (literally go around), a verb based on ambitus. Attested from 801 CE in southern Italy. Presumably suppletive with vādō and īre in various conjugations, as are most of the descendants, and as was Early Medieval Latin alāre.
