paveo

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *pawēō, from earlier *pawējō, from Proto-Indo-European *paw-éh₁-ye-ti, from *paw- (“to strike, hit”). The sense development would be "to strike" > "to strike with fear".

Alternatively, *paw- is a homophonous but separate root meaning "to fear", and is perhaps cognate with Proto-Celtic *oβnus (“fear”).

Cognates include paviō, puteus, pudeō, repudium, and possibly tripudium and putō.
