Etymology of EVADE

The word evade originated from the Latin word evadere, which is a combination of the prefix e- meaning out or away and the verb vadere meaning to go or to walk. Therefore, evadere in Latin translates to to go out or to escape. Over time, this Latin root evolved into the Old French word evader, which meant to escape or to avoid. Eventually, it entered Middle English as evaden before transforming into the modern English term evade, maintaining its meaning of to avoid, dodge, or elude.
