Inherited from Prakrit *𑀧𑀝𑁆𑀞𑀸𑀯𑁂𑀢𑀺 (*paṭṭhāveti), *𑀧𑀝𑁆𑀞𑀸𑀯𑀢𑀺 (*paṭṭhāvati), from Sanskrit प्रस्थापयति (prasthāpayati, “to send”, literally “to cause to place forward or toward”), from प्र- (pra-, “forward, toward”) + स्थापयति (sthāpayati, “to cause to place”), from Proto-Indo-Aryan *stʰaHáyati with medial -प्- (-p-) due to the stem ending with a vowel (perhaps from a substrate), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *staHáyati, from Proto-Indo-European *stoh₂éyeti (“to cause to stand”), the causative of *steh₂- (“to stand”).
