An archaic or variant spelling of amity; friendship or peaceful relations between people or nations.
From Old French 'amitié' derived from Latin 'amicitia' meaning 'friendship,' where 'amicus' is 'friend.' This spelling variant reflects French influence on Middle English before standardization settled on 'amity.'
This French-influenced spelling shows up in historical documents and treaties—you might see 'amitie and goodwill' in a 16th-century peace accord, representing the diplomatic language of the era.
