Досточтимый Бхиккху Бодхи пишет:

Unless we merely parrot the words of the texts, we can never escape the circle of interpretation. This does not mean that the commentaries are to be regarded an infallible and incontestable. But it does mean that they should be given serious consideration, as representing the ways in which learned doctrinal specialists, going back in a chain of transmission close to (and perhaps even as far as) the time of the Buddha, understood the received texts. If we reject an interpretation in the commentaries, this should be done for sound reasons, on solid philological and doctrinal grounds. It should not be done on the assumption that, even without extensive knowledge of the teachings and the languages in which the texts were preserved, one is equally or better qualified to explain (that is, to interpret) their meaning and terminology.

But coming back to avecca, I wonder, Bryan, where in Buddhaghosa's commentaries we find the explanation that you provided. I just did a search for aveccappasaada in the Atthakatha and Tika, using the CST's search function, and all the occurrences that I come up with (taking the AK and Tika jointly) treat avecca as an absolutive with the meaning "having known". I have pasted the relevant passages in below. From these citations it emerges from the Atthakatha that such confidence is "unshakable and imperishable" (acalena accutena) because it stems from having accurately known (yathābhūtato ñātattā) the excellent qualities of the Buddha (or of the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha). And the Tika makes it clear that avecca is an absolutive: avecca yāthāvato jānitvā. Thus, as I see it, the commentaries are *not* deriving avecca, contrary to correct etymology, from a + veti > a+vetya > a + vecca.

Rather they are deriving the word correctly, but saying that because it is based on direct knowledge, it is therefore unshakable and imperishable.

Ledi Sayadaw, writing centuries later, also explains avecca on the basis of knowledge and insight: buddhaguṇādīnaṃ dassanaññāṇena sampayutto pasādo aveccappasādo nāma.

Just below are all the commentarial passages that I could find (I did not include a few which were identical with these in both AK and Tika). If there is a derivation through the negation of the verb veti, where in the Atthakatha is that derivation to be found?
