Past tense of 'evite': to avoid or shun something deliberately.
From the archaic verb 'evite,' derived from Latin 'evitare.' The '-ed' ending marks it as simple past tense. This is an older English formation that has largely been superseded by 'avoided' or 'evaded' in modern usage.
This word is practically extinct in English—you'll rarely see it outside of Renaissance texts and historical documents. When Shakespeare's contemporaries wrote 'evited,' they were being precise about a deliberate, conscious avoidance rather than an accidental one.
