Word origin

From Middle French evitable (modern French évitable), from Latin ēvītābilis (“avoidable”), from ēvītō (“to avoid”) + -bilis (“-able”, able or worthy to be). The former is derived from ē- (“out”) + vītō (“to avoid, evade; to shun”) (possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dwidʰeh₁- (“separate, set apart”), a compound of *dwi- (“two”) + *dʰeh₁- (“to put”)).

Used in a sentence

  • The tragic consequences were evitable.
  • A momentary ſhock like this, I ſay, may, for aught we otherwiſe know, ſooner or later, prove our lot, whenever the evitable fate of our impieties will no longer ſuffer the divine juſtice to be patient.
