editEtymology
editFrom Italian a prima vista, meaning "at first glance". 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”). Middle part from Italian prima (“before”), feminine singular of primo (“first”), from Latin prīmus (“first”), from earlier prīsmos, from Proto-Italic *priisemos (“foremost, first”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *preh₂- (“before”). Last part from Italian vista (“sight, vision”), from Vulgar Latin *visita, from Latin vīsa, inflected form of vīsus (“looking”), perfect passive participle of videō (“I see, perceive”), from Proto-Italic *widēō (“see”), from Proto-Indo-European *weyd- (“to see”).
