Kern, Toevoegselen s. v. vasati takes it as vi + uṣita (of vas2), against which speaks meaning of vivasati “to live from home.” Geiger, Pali Grammar § 66#1 & 195 expld it as uṣita with prothetic v, as by-form of vuttha. Best fitting in meaning is assumption of vusita being a variant of vosita, with change of o to u in analogy to vuttha; thus = vi + osita “fulfilled, come to an end or to perfection”; cp. pariyosita. Geiger’s expln is supported by phrase brahmacariyaṃ vasati
