Word Origin.
Italian, early 18th century

Drop the "e" from "virtue" and we have this noun that specifies a personal quality of knowledge of the arts. "Virtu" was borrowed from the Italian "virtù," which originated from the Latin "virtutem," meaning "virtue, goodness, manliness." It was adopted during a period of history when European habits and traditions, particularly those of Italian origin, were considered the height of culture around the world.
