Etymology

From Old French viste, of disputed origin:.
* According to Littré, from Italian visto (“seen”), from Vulgar Latin *visitus, from Latin vidēre. The adverb corresponds with à vue (“rapidly, without notice”); compare Italian avvisto (“noticed, adroit”).
* Derived from an onomatopoeia expressing rapid movement.
* From Latin vegetus (“lively, animated”).
