Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: In meaning 2. πάτος is clearly a backformation of πατέω (Frisk Eranos 38, 43 ff.), thus περίπατ-ος from περι-πατέω a. corresponding ἀπόπατ-ος. In the meaning `way, path' it can be however an old variant of πόντος; πατέω is then denominative. Schwyzer 726 (a. 705) leaves the matter open. Wrong Moorhouse Class Quart. 35, 90ff. -- DELG doubts the connection with πόντος. (Further s. πόντος.) πατέω has no etym.

Origin: IE [Indo-European] [808] * pont-eh₁-, *pn̥t-h₁- `path'

Etymology: As against the ο-stm in πόντος stand diff. formations in other languages in diff. meanings: in Indo-Iran. an ablauting pant(h)ā- (e.g. nom. sg. Skt. pánthā-ḥ, Av. pantā̊): path(i)- (e.g. instr. sg. path-ā́, paʮ-a, pl. pathí-bhiḥ, padǝ-bīš) m. `road, path'; in other languages a fullgrade i-stem: Arm. hun, gen. hn-i `ford', Lat. pons, gen. pl. ponti-um m. `bridge, passage', OCS pǫtь m. `road'. Both these widespread i-flexion and the Greek o-flexion have arisen from an older, in Indo-Iran. still living, rather complicated paradigm ( pont-eh₁-, pn̥t-h₁-). A deriv. of the in Skt. path-ā́ etc. appearing zerograde (IE *pn̥th₁-) is found in πάτος `road, path' (and in OPr. pintis `road'); s. on πατέω. Details on the morphology w. rich lit. in WP. 2, 26f., Pok. 808f., Mayrhofer s. pánthāḥ, W.-Hofmann s. pons, Vasmer s. putь. -- As orig. meaning. must be assumed `unpaved road, leading through country, water etc.'; cf. Benveniste Word 10, 256 f.; so πόντος prop. "fairway" (cf. ὑγρὰ κέλευθα) referring to a for a seefaring nation primary function of the sea. Cf. on θάλασσα, πέλαγος.
