Proto-Italic
Reconstruction
The expected outcome of inherited *ph₃tós would be *patos (with *CHC > *CəC > *CaC; compare *katos from PIE *ḱh₃tós); therefore *pōtos must either be independently derived from the root or result from the spread of *pō- throughout the paradigm (being reanalyzed as the root).[Note 1]
Etymology
From Proto-Indo-European *ph₃tós (“(having been) drunk; having drunk”), derived from the root *peh₃- (“to drink”).
Cognate with Proto-Hellenic *potós and Sanskrit पीत (pitá).
