Etymology
1. 1673, "to rise by virtue of lightness," from L. levitas "lightness," patterned in Eng. on gravitate. Sense of "raise (a person) into the air" is mainly from spiritualism (1870s).
2. First attested in 1673; borrowed from New Latin levitātus, perfect passive participle of levitō (“to levitate; to have one's motion directed upward, as opposed to the downward motion induced by gravity”) (first attested c. 1670), modeled on gravitō (“to gravitate”) (← Latin gravis (“heavy”)), from levis (“light”), see -ate (verb-forming suffix).
