Etymology

The infinitive and forms beginning with j- derive from Latin eō, īre, while the forms beginning with v- derive from corresponding forms of vādō, vādere. Compare Spanish ir, Italian ire, Istriot zì, Neapolitan jì, Portuguese ir, Aragonese ir, Asturian dir.

In some not homogeneous areas in Sicily, inside or nearby Gallo-Italic enclaves, the forms made upon īre are made instead on annari, from Vulgar Latin *andō, *andāre, of disputed origin. Compare Italian andare, and see Vulgar Latin entry for more cognates.

For the reflexive sense, compare Spanish irse and Italian andarsene.
