Etymology of INVITINGS

The word "invitings" is formed from the verb "invite" and the suffix "-ing".

The verb "invite" originated from the Latin word "invitare", which means "to invite" or "to solicit". This Latin term came from the Proto-Indo-European base "*wegh-", meaning "to go" or "to bring".

The suffix "-ing" is derived from Old English "-ing", which was used to form verbal nouns and gerunds. It signified a continuous action or state. Over time, this suffix evolved to become a gerundive or adjectival ending.

Therefore, "invitings" can be understood as the verbal noun or gerund form of "invite", indicating the act or process of inviting someone. However, it is worth noting that "invitings" is a less common term compared to the more prevalent usage of the word "invitations".
