Where this word comes from

Etymology tree Proto-Indo-European *peh₂w- Proto-Indo-European *perh₃-? Proto-Indo-European *peh₂w(o)p(o)rh₃o- Proto-Italic *paw(o)paro-? Latin dīvesinflu. Latin pauper Inherited from Proto-Italic *paw(o)paro-, a thematic adjective which was switched to the third declension in Latin analogically, from a compound beginning with Proto-Indo-European *peh₂w- (“few, small”, compare English few). The origin of the second element, -per, is less certain, but probably *perh₃- (“to grant, bestow, provide”) (compare Ancient Greek ἔπορον (époron, “to supply, grant, pay”)), therefore the compound meant “providing little”.
