Where this word comes from
From prō- + an unknown element. Nikolaev derives the second element from Proto-Indo-European *seh₂p- (“to strike”) and connects the word to Latin sōpiō (“drawing of a penis”), Sanskrit सापयति (sāpáyati, “to strike”), Hittite [Term?] (/šapp-/, “to hit”), Ossetian сафын (safyn), исафун (isafun, “to destroy”), Ancient Greek ἰάπτω (iáptō, “to hurt”) and Lithuanian sopė́ti (“to hurt”). The semantic development of the word would be “to strike” > “to have sexual intercourse” > “to beget”, at which point the word was prefixed.
