The Latin noun was appetītus, a derivative of the compound verb appetere ‘strive after, desire eagerly’, which was based on petere ‘go to, seek out’ (source also of English compete, impetus, petition, and repeat, and related to feather).=> compete, impetus, petition, repeatappetite (n.)c. 1300, "craving for food," from Anglo-French appetit, Old French apetit (13c.)
