French
Etymology
Inherited from Middle French vivre, from Old French vivre, from Latin vīvere, from Proto-Italic *gʷīwō, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷíh₃weti (“to live, be alive”). Forms in véc- originate from Latin irregular perfect stem vīx- (vīxī, vīxistī, ...) undergoing metathesis and shortening to *vĭsc-.
