Etymology
This came into English from Middle French evitable (modern French évitable), which traces to Latin ēvītābilis (“avoidable”), formed from ēvītō (“to avoid”) and -bilis (“-able”, able or worthy to be). Ēvītō in turn derives from ē- (“out”) and vītō (“to avoid, evade; to shun”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dwidʰeh₁- (“separate, set apart”), a compound of *dwi- (“two”) and *dʰeh₁- (“to put”).
