Etymology 1
From Middle English vitaile, vitaylle (“food; food and drink, especially as needed for sustenance; (usually in the plural) food and drink stores or supplies; rations; provision of food and drink as a military stipend; crops”) [and other forms], from Anglo-Norman vitaile, vitaille [and other forms] and Old French vitaile, vitaille, victaille (“food, provisions, victuals”) [and other forms] (modern French victuaille), from Late Latin victu?lia, the neuter plural of v?ctu?lis (“nutritional”), from Latin v?ctus (“that which sustains life, diet, nourishment, provision”) + -?lis (suffix forming adjectives of relationship from nouns). V?ctus is derived from v?v? (“to live; to be alive, survive; to reside in”) (possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *g?eyh?- (“to live”)) + -tus (suffix forming action nouns from verbs).
The spelling of the modern English and French words has been influenced by Late Latin victu?lia, though the pronunciation of the Middle English, Anglo-Norman, and Middle French words has been retained.
