\ \ [16] Audible is one of a wide range of English words based ultimately on the Latin verb audīre ‘hear’ (which came from the Indo- European root *awiz-, source also of Greek aithánesthai ‘perceive’ and Sanskrit āvis ‘evidently’). Others include audience [14], audio- [20], audit [15] (from Latin audītus ‘hearing’; audits were originally done by reading the accounts out loud), audition [16], and auditorium [17].
