## AI Etymology
invitement comes from invite (from Latin invitare 'to invite, summon, entertain') plus the noun-forming suffix -ment. Morphologically, the ending is part of the etymology: the suffix is attached to the older base named in the history, producing a later English derivative. In present English, the noun sense is "an invitation or allurement; the act of inviting", so the historical development ends in a clearly identifiable modern dictionary use. The same base also appears in related forms such as invite, invitation, and inviting. Its semantic neighborhood includes invitation, allurement, enticement, and inducement, which helps locate the modern sense without adding a separate etymological claim. The named historical forms include Latin invitare.
