Etymology

Unknown. The original form must have been baetō, with regular reduction to -bītō in non-initial syllables (later extended to the simple verb, as with fessus), while bētō is due to rural monophthongisation. See also arbiter.

1At least one use of the Old Latin "sigmatic future" and "sigmatic aorist" tenses is attested, which are used by Old Latin writers; most notably Plautus and Terence. The sigmatic future is generally ascribed a future or future perfect meaning, while the sigmatic aorist expresses a possible desire ("might want to").
