What verb is vécu formed from in the following sentence? (It is from Assimil NFWE lesson 108, by the way):
Il y a plein de gens célèbres qui y ont vécu. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

vivre, I remember guessing at this with "euuh J'y ai vivu?" with a tutor and getting a
quick correction. http://www.wordreference.com/conj/FrVerbs.aspx?v=vivre 3 persons have voted this message useful | |

Ah, thank you. It seems obvious now, it certainly couldn't have been habiter.

I literally didn't believe it the first time I heard it actually! Kept asking the French
native whether I had heard wrong. Had to check the etymology on Wiktionary. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Just to add a little something, "vécu" is also used as a (masculine) noun, meaning "life experience", "life events", or "(personal) background."
