Etymology
From Middle French favori, favorit (16th c.), from Italian favorito, past participle of favorire (“to favour”). The form in -it was borrowed directly from the Italian participle, while that in -i (feminine accordingly favorie) is in line with the Middle French verb favorir (now replaced with favoriser). Inconsistent standardization led to the modern hybrid forms (compare also absous, andalou, coi, esquimau). See: Italian Adjectives '
favorito'.
