Etymology

Borrowed from Latin audientem, accusative singular of audi?ns (“hearing, listening; attending, paying attention to”) (or directly from audi?ns), the present active participle of audi? (“to hear, listen to; to attend, pay attention to”), from Proto-Indo-European *h?ewis (“clearly, manifestly”) (from *h?ew- (“to perceive, see”)) + *d?h?-ye/o- (“to render”).

The noun may be borrowed from Late Latin audi?ns (“catechumen”), from the participle audi?ns.
