From avus (“grandfather; ancestor, forebear”) + -ītus; but the details of the derivation, such as the provenance of the -ī-, are disputed. According to one analysis, found in Leumann 1977, the term is a "decasuative" formation built on the genitive singular case-form avī.[1] De Vaan says it is "formed after marītus", and so apparently views the ending as analogical.[2]
