Brit.

/ˈpʌɪᵻti/, U.S.

/ˈpaɪədi/

Forms: Middle English piete, Middle English pietee, Middle English pyete, Middle English–1600s pietie, Middle English– piety, 1500s pyetye, 1600s pieti; Scottish pre-1700 piete, pre-1700 pietie, pre-1700 pyete, 1700s– piety.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from French. Partly a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: French pieté, piété; Latin pietās.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman pieté and Middle French piété pity (late 10th cent. in Old French as pieted), godliness (mid 13th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman), fervent attachment to the service of God and to the duties and practices of religion (1541 in Calvin), respect and devotion for parents, the dead, etc. (a1628) and its etymon classical Latin pietās dutifulness, piety, in post-classical Latin also the mercy of God, mercy, compassion shown by people (Vetus Latina) < pius dutiful, pious (see pious adj.) + -tās (see -ty suffix¹). Compare Old Occitan pietat (c1070; also as piatat (second half of the 12th cent.); Occitan pietat ), Catalan pietat (13th cent.), Spanish piedad (c1200; also as piedat (c1200), piadat (c1196)), Portuguese piedade (13th cent.), Italian pietà (a1272; compare Pietà n.). Compare earlier pity n.Earlier currency of the word is perhaps implied by the surname Willelmus Piete (1195), although it is unclear whether this reflects the Anglo-Norman or the Middle English word; for what is apparently a variant of the name of the same individual see pity n.

I. Senses relating to the quality of feeling or showing pity.
