語源

From Proto-Italic *oitōr (with ūsus for *issus after ūtor), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *h₃eyt- (“to take along, fetch”). Compare the future tense οἴσω (oísō) of Ancient Greek φέρω (phérō, “carry”).

     Sophocles [said it] well when, surely already affected by age, he was asked whether [he] was indulging in the pleasures of love. “Heaven forbid!” he replied. “Indeed, [I] have fled from those things as gladly as [I would] from a savage and furious master.”
     (Third person singular imperfect subjunctive uteretur + enclitic particle -ne, which introduces an indirect question. A reference to Plato, The Republic, 1.329.)

  in order that he might make use of the looser supplies of provisions (Caesar, de Bello Gallico, VII, 11)
