Etymology of RIVETTE

The word "rivette" is derived from the Old French word "rivet", which can be traced back to the Latin word "rebita", the past participle of "rebītare". "Rebītare" is a compound formed from the Latin prefix "re-" (meaning "again" or "back") and the verb "bītare" (meaning "to bite"). Originally, the term referred to the process of fastening or clinching metal plates together by biting or pressing them to create a secure joint, which is where the modern meaning of "rivet" originated. Over time, "rivette" emerged as a variant spelling of "rivet", particularly in regions where French was spoken.
