Its root in the classical dictionaries

الفوت: بعد الشيء عن الإنسان بحيث يتعذر إدراكه، قال: وإن فاتكم شيء من أزواجكم إلى الكفار

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

الفاء والواو والتاء أصيل صحيح يدل على خلاف إدراك الشيء والوصول إليه. يقال: فاته الشيء فوتا. وتفاوت الشيئان: تباعد ما بينهما، أي لم يدرك هذا ذاك. والافتيات: افتعال من الفوت، وهو السبق إلى الشيء دون الائتمار. يقال: فلان لا يفتات عليه، أي لا يعمل شيء دون أمره.
