Borrowed from Italian a vista (at sight), first part from Italian a (in, at, to), in most cases from Latin ad (to, towards, up to, at), from Proto-Italic *ad (toward, to, on, up to, for), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂éd (to, at), in certain cases, from Latin a (from, away from, out of), from ab (from, away from, out of, down from), from Proto-Italic *ab, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂epó (off, away). Last part from Italian vista (sight, vision), from Vulgar Latin *visita, from Latin vīsa, inflected form of vīsus (looking; sight), perfect passive participle of videō (I see, perceive), from Proto-Italic *widēō (see), from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (to see).
