Etymology

Suspecter is a French verb coined in the 19th century from the noun *suspect*, which was borrowed from the Latin participle *suspectus* (of *suspicere* “to look at, consider”). The Latin root *sub-* “under” + *specere* “to look” gives the sense of “to view with a doubtful eye”. Adding the French infinitive suffix –er formed the verb, so *suspecter* literally means “to regard with suspicion”.
