Latin

Etymology

Possibly from *ambitāre (literally go around), frequentative of ambio. Alternatively, perhaps from an earlier *amnāre < *amlāre < ambulāre (walk). Attested from 801 CE in southern Italy.[1] Presumably suppletive with vādō and īre in various conjugations, as are most of the descendants, and as was the contemporary synonym alāre.
