Etymology
In summary
Inherited from Middle French avec, avecques (“with”), from Old French avoc, avoec, avuec (“with”), from an assumed Vulgar Latin *aboc, *abhoc, *apud hŏque, from Latin apud (“with, near, close to”) + hoc (“this”) + -que. First used as a replacement for Latin cum (“with”) in Merovingian and Carolingian documents from France. Gradually supplanted Old French od (“with”), itself from apud (od however survives in some dialects in Western France under the form d'od, especially in Normandy). Cognate with Picard avuc, Norman aveuc, Walloon avou and, more distantly, with Franco-Provençal avoi (from *ab hoc and not *abhocque).
