The paper proposes a re-examination of the hitherto supposed Latin ancestry of Rum. păţi, Arum. pat, Alb. pësoj, Bulg., Bя, Mac. пaти, S.-Cr.. _.-C all meaning "to suffer, endure, etc." and argues in favour of Greek πάσχω i.e. παθαίνω as the more probable common ultimate prototype, rather than VLat. *patire < Lat. patior
