Etymology

1. Inherited from Old English pæþ, from Proto-West Germanic *paþ, from Proto-Germanic *paþaz, from an Iranian language, from Proto-Iranian *pántaHs, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *pántaHs.
2. The spellings paath and pathe and Scots paith prove that a pronunciation of this word with /aː/ existed; it presumably originated from open-syllable lengthening in inflected forms. See: Old English Nouns 'pæþ', Old English Nouns 'pæþ'.
