Etymology 1
The noun is derived from Latin exitus (“departure, going out; way by which one may go out, egress; (figuratively) conclusion, termination; (figuratively) death; income, revenue”), from exe? (“to depart, exit; to avoid, evade; (figuratively) to escape; of time: to expire, run out”) + -tus (suffix forming action nouns from verbs). Exe? is derived from ex- (prefix meaning ‘out, away’) + e? (“to go”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h?ey- (“to go”)). The English word is cognate with Italian esito, Portuguese êxito, Spanish éxito. Doublet of ejido.
The verb is derived from the noun.
