"-ait" meaning in All languages combined

See -ait on Wiktionary

Suffix [French]

IPA: /ɛ/
Etymology: Inherited from Old French -oit, an irregular development from second and third conjugation ending Latin -ēbat and fourth conjugation ending Latin -iēbat (note the dropping of -a- is irregular). Possibly due to the influence by the third-person singular subjunctive imperfect suffixes -ât, -ît, -ût (with a circumflex preceding -t) whose regularly drops -e- in unstressed positions.
