"infestus" meaning in Latin

See infestus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /inˈfes.tus/ [Classical-Latin], [ĩːˈfɛs̠t̪ʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /inˈfes.tus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [iɱˈfɛst̪us] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain. Possibilities include: # Cognate with manifestus (“caught in the act”) by assuming a precedent sense “caught by hand”, and derived from a tentative -festus (“grabbing, attacking”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *dʰers- (“to be bold”). # Cognate with festīnō (“to hasten, accelerate”), cōnfestim (“immediately”) by assuming a precedent sense “rushing in”, from Proto-Italic *festis (“hurry”), which Schrijver derives from a root *bʰris-. This makes a connection with manifestus difficult. # From in- (“un-”) + Proto-Italic *festus (“asked for”), itself from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰedʰ-to-s, from *gʷʰedʰ- (“to request, ask for, pray”). Phonologically this assumes the ending -tus being analogically restored after *TT had shifted to *ss in Italic, as might be the case with fūstis.

This makes a connection with manifestus difficult.\n# From in- (“un-”) + Proto-Italic *festus (“asked for”), itself from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰedʰ-to-s, from *gʷʰedʰ- (“to request, ask for, pray”).
