/ˌæfəˈdeɪvət/

From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) :   [ bouvier ]

  AFFIDAVIT, practice. An oath or affirmation reduced to writing, sworn or
  affirmed to before some officer who has authority to administer it. It
  differs from a deposition in this, that in the latter the opposite party has
  had an opportunity to cross-examine the witness, whereas an affidavit is
  always taken ex parte. Gresl. Eq. Ev. 413. Vide Harr. Dig. h.t.
       2. Affidavit to hold to bail, is in many cases required before the
  defendant can be arrested; such affidavit must be made by a person who is
  acquainted with the fact, and must state, 1st, an indebtedness from the
  defendant to the plaintiff; 2dly, show a distinct cause of action; 3dly, the
  whole must be clearly and certainly, expressed. Sell. Pr. 104; 1 Chit. R.
  165; S. C. 18 Com. Law, R. 59 note; Id. 99.
       3. An affidavit of defence, is made by a defendant or a person knowing
  the facts, in which must be stated a positive ground of defence on the
  merits. 1 Ashm. R. 4, 19, n. It has been decided that when a writ of summons
  has been served upon three defendants, and only one appears, a judgment for
  want of an affidavit of defence may be rendered against au. 8 Watts, R. 367.
  Vide Bac. Ab. h.t.
