Etymology
1. 1593, a legal term, "to annul, do away with," from M.Fr.
elider, from L.
elidere "strike out," from
ex- "out" +
-lidere, comb. form of
laedere "to strike." Phonological sense is first recorded 1796.
2. From Latin ēlīdō (“to knock, dash or strike out”), from ex- (“out, away”) + laedō (“to strike, collide, hurt”) (whence e- (“assimilated form of ex-”)). See: Latin '
ēlīdō'.
