attitude

borrowed from Italian attitudine attested before 1519 (Leonardo da Vinci [1452-1519] scritti scelti, 229 in batt.). The Italian itself is either a remodeling of Latin actitudo, actitudinis (see actitud in Spanish and Catalan), derived from actitare, the frequentative of agere, based on aptitūdo, or a remodeling of this word based on actus.
