Despite numerous attempts to provide a satisfactory etymology for Lat. iste (and therefore also for its Italic cognates), no commonly accepted account has emerged. In this paper the previous scholarship is reviewed and new evident from Celtic is considered. It is proposed that Lat. iste and cognates were formed from the fusion of the masc. nom. sg. form of the originally deictic pronominal stem *ei̭- and the enclitic connective*-te. At a later date the form was reanalysed as based upon a stem *e/ist-.
