Etymology
From Old Norse veita (“to grant, give”), from Proto-Germanic *waitijaną (“to let know, show”, causative of Proto-Germanic *witaną (“to know”)), from Proto-Indo-European *woyd-éye-ti (“to let see, show”, causative), derived from the root Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to catch sight of”). Closely related to Old Frisian wēta (“to claim, testify”) and Old High German weizen (“to show, prove”). See: Proto-Germanic '
*waitijaną'.
