[ME. receite, receit, a. AF. (ONF.) receite, receyte

receita, It. ricetta:
L. recepta, fem. pa. pple. of
recip
re to
RECEIVE
.
The vowel of OF. receite, reçoite is app. due
to the influence of such verbal forms as receit, reçoit. The normal
OF. form is recete, the more usual recepte (whence mod.F. recette)
being a learned reversion to the Latin form (cf.
RECEPT
n.1). In Eng., the spelling
receipt (with p from Latin, as in OF. reçoipte) has prevailed
in this word, in contrast to the related
CONCEIT
and
DECEIT

I. 1.
