Root Breakdown

Root-derived
vissee, look
+
-itbelonging to, product of
=visit

From Latin vīsitāre, a frequentative of vīsum (seen) meaning 'to go and see repeatedly.' To visit is, at its core, simply 'to go and see' — a person, a place, and now a website. The web sense is a modern reuse of the very old 'go and look' idea.
