Origin: XX [etym. unknown]

Etymology: Not certainly explained. All forms are based on the pres. παίω, which may stand for *πάϜι̯ω which is of old identified with Lat. paviō `beat, stamp'; doubtful Cypr. παϜιω is however an unreliable support (s. Schwyzer 713 n. 6 w. lit.). The etymology presupposes, that one assumes with Schwyzer IF 30, 443 ff. that the non-pres. παῦ-σαι, - σω etc. to be expected together with παύω formed a new system, which is quite difficult; s. on παύω. -- Improbable Ehrlich Betonung 99 and (hesitating) Sommer Lautst. 78: from *παίσω to Lat. pinsō `knock to pieces', with ablaut pais-: pis-, as Lith. paisýti `die Grannen abschlagen, enthülsen' as secondary iterative formation does not prove an old pais-. Details w. further lit. in WP. 2, 12, Pok. 827, W.-Hofmann s. paviō. -- Cf. παιάν and πταίω, also 2. ἔμπαιος.
