Etymology

Old English pæþ, from West Germanic *paþa- , of uncertain origin, but perhaps an early borrowing from an Iranian language (Avestan pɑntɑ (nominative), pɑθɑ (genitive) way, Old Persian pɑthi- ), in which case it would be derived from the same Indo-European root as English find). Cognate with Dutch pad, German Pfad.

Pronunciation

• IPA: /pæθ/
• Rhymes: -ɑːθ
