+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is [[af|la|tū|-te|t1=you]], with an emphatic particle.^(Wiktionary)^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(OLD 2012) De Vaan traces [[m|la|tū]] to [[itc-pro|*tū]] and to a Proto-Indo-European nominative [[m|ine-pro|*ti(H)]], later replaced by ⟨*tu(H)⟩ outside Anatolian; he compares [[sa|त्वम्|tr=tvám|t=you]] and [[hit|zik|t=you]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ The earliest example in Lewis & Short is Ennius' alliterative line ''Ō Tite, tūte, Tatī, tibi tanta, tyranne, tulistī''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is an emphatic "you yourself", often with ''ipse''.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Wiktionary) Georges finds it in the comic writers and in Cicero.^(Georges 1913) In Plautus' ''Amphitruo'' a speaker insists that it was ''tūte'', "you yourself", who said it, with Sosia standing by, and Terence has ''tūte ipse'', "you yourself", in the ''Andria''.^(Lewis & Short 1879) Cicero uses it in ''De re publica'' and in his letters: ''tūte scīs'', "you know yourself".^(Lewis & Short 1879) Similar emphatic forms are ''tētē'' for the accusative and ablative, and ''tūtemet'' with ''-met'', as in Terence and Lucretius.^(Lewis & Short 1879)^(Georges 1913)
