PIE word *h₂éd. Comes from Middle English atwiten (‘to attribute (something) to someone; to blame (something) on someone; to accuse or charge (someone) with something; to speak ill of; to taunt’), from Old English ætwītan (‘to blame, reproach; to censure, upbraid; to taunt’), from æt- (prefix meaning ‘at, near; toward’) plus wītan (‘to accuse; to blame, reproach’) (itself from Proto-Germanic *wītaną (‘to punish; to torment; to know; to see’), from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (‘to see’)).
