Etymology
1. c.1290, "unoccupied, vacant," from Anglo-Fr. and O.Fr. voide "empty, vast, wide, hollow, waste," from L. vocivus "unoccupied, vacant," related to vacuus "empty" (see vacuum). Meaning "lacking or wanting" (something) is recorded from c.1420. Meaning "legally invalid" is attested from 1433. Noun sense of "empty space, vacuum" is from 1727. The verb meaning "to clear" (some place, of something) is first recorded c.1300; meaning "to deprive (something) of legal validity" is attested from c.1325.
2. From Middle English voide, voyde, from Old French vuit, voide, vuide (modern vide), in turn from Vulgar Latin *vocitum, ultimately from Latin vacuus.
