Where this word comes from
Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *peh₁- Proto-Indo-European *-tós Proto-Indo-European *ph₁tós Proto-Italic *patosder.? Proto-Indo-European *pet-der.? Latin patior Apparently denominative from Proto-Italic *patos, from Proto-Indo-European *ph₁-tós, participle of *peh₁- (“to hurt”), though this morphology would be highly irregular. Cognate with paene, paeniteō, pēnūria, Ancient Greek πῆμα (pêma), πηρός (pērós), Old English feond (“devil, enemy”) (English fiend), Gothic 𐍆𐌰𐌹𐌰𐌽 (faian, “to blame”), Proto-Slavic *patiti (“to suffer, to fare misfortune”). An alternative theory derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *pet- (“to fly, fall”), with semantic shift "to befall" > "to experience" > "to suffer".
