obiteradv.n.adj.

Brit. /ˈɒbᵻtə/, /ˈəʊbᵻtə/, U.S. /ˈoʊbɪdər/

Etymology: < classical Latin obiter (adverb) by the way, in passing, incidentally, originally two words, ob iter by the way < ob (see ob- prefix) + iter journey, way (see iter n.). In sense C. perhaps after obiter dictum n. (although this is first attested slightly later). N.E.D. (1902) gives only the pronunciation (ǫ·bitəɹ) /ˈɒbɪtə(r)/.
Now chiefly Law.
