Latin iaciō
Latin amiciō

    From ambi- + iaciō. Schrijver suggests that this term may exemplify a proposed type of derivational process whereby, at least in Italo-Celtic, the *-yeti suffix (from which derives the Latin fourth conjugation) was added to an athematic base, with a resulting factitive meaning akin to "bring about that one is the object of X." Thus, the sense "to throw," as a result of the prefix ambi- (“around”) and the suffix *-yeti, perhaps became "to bring about that something is cast around oneself," which then evolved into "to cover oneself in clothes," ultimately yielding the sense of "to dress."[1]
