Just to be awkward, it's in OED (Online) -
avocate, v.
Etymology: < Latin āvocāt- participial stem of āvocāre to call off or away, < ā , ab, off + vocāre to call. In sense 2 < French avoquer , later advoquer , < Latin advocāre : see advoke v., advocate v.
Obs.
1. To call away, withdraw, distract, divert (from).
2. To call to a higher tribunal; = advocate v. 1.
