The word "advise" originated from Old French aviser ("to consider, advise"), which itself came from Latin advisare, a frequentative form of advidere ("to look at, consider"). The core idea is "to see toward" or "to perceive clearly," evolving into the modern sense of offering informed guidance. The spelling shifted from "avise" to "advise" under the influence of Latin ad-.
