Etymology

From earlier *cuti or *quoti, derived from Proto-Indo-European *kʷis, *kʷos and *só. See ubi for the loss of c.

Jussive and optative sentences were often followed by some adverbial ut(i), originally meaning "in some way" (sometimes interchangeable with instrumental qui ‎(“by some means”)). Ut becoming habitual, lost its full meaning and was weakened to the conjunction ut, which now felt to govern the subjunctive mood. This was the epitome of the evolution of subordinate clauses in Latin.^[1]

Pronunciation

• (Classical) IPA^(key): /ut/, [ʊt]
