Etymology

From earlier necessitat, from Medieval Latin necessitātus, perfect past participle of necessitō (“to make necessary”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix, of participial origin)), from Classical Latin necessitās (“necessity, need”) + -ō. Necessitās is derived from necesse (“unavoidable”) (from ne- (“not”) + cessus (“conceded, given up, yielded”). By surface analysis, necessitō + -ate.

Webster’s 1913

  1. verb To make necessary or indispensable; to render unaviolable.
  2. verb To reduce to the necessity of; to force; to compel.

Etymology [Cf. L. necessitatus, p.p. of necessitare, and F. nécessiter. See Necessity.]
