A suppletive verb.

All forms except for the present, imperfect, and the verbal noun are from forms of Proto-Celtic *essi, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ed-.
- The perfect forms are from dí- +‎ fo- + Proto-Celtic *āde (preterite of *essi), from Proto-Indo-European *h₁e-h₁od-e.
- The subjunctive forms are from Proto-Celtic *esseti, s-subjunctive of *essi.
- The future forms are from Proto-Celtic *īsseti, reduplicated s-future of *essi, with *ī from Proto-Indo-European *h₁i-h₁e-. The future is inflected like an a-subjunctive, not like a regular s-future.
The verbal noun is from Proto-Celtic *ɸityā, derived from Proto-Indo-European *peyt- (“to nourish, feed”). Cognate with Old Church Slavonic питѣти (pitěti, “nourish”) and Sanskrit पितु (pitú, “food”). ith (“grain”) is from this same root.
The present and imperfect stems ith- and eth- are back-formed from the verbal noun.

  They eat it from above and he roots it up from below; for it does not exterminate the vine to eat of anything of it from above, as do the passers-by whom he speaks of, i.e. for it is only a passing visit that they make [lit: ‘that they visit’] to the vine to take something for themselves of its fruit.
