Etymology
borrowed from Latin imitātus, past participle of imitārī "to follow as a pattern, copy," frequentative derivative of a presumed verb *imā- "make a copy," perhaps going back to Indo-European *h2im-, whence also Hittite hima-, himma- "substitute, replica, toy"
Note: Aside from Hittite, evidence for an etymon *h2im- is lacking. See also etymology and note at emulous.
