Etymology

From Medieval Latin affidavit (“he has sworn”), the third person singular perfect tense of affido (“swear”), from f?d?, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *b?eyd?- (“to command, to persuade, to trust”). Cognate to fidelity and faith (same Latin root), but not to affirm (shared Latin ad- prefix, but different Latin and Proto-Indo-European roots).
