Origin

From Middle English unite, from Anglo-Norman, Old French unité, from Latin ūnitās, from ūn

From Middle English unite, from Anglo-Norman, Old French unité, from Latin ūnitās, from ūnus (“one”) + noun of state suffix -itās, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *óynos (“one, single”), hence distantly related to one and an. By surface analysis, unite + -y. Displaced native Old English ānnes (literally “oneness”).
