Proto-West Germanic
Etymology
Etymonline's sources (such as Watkins) derive this word from Proto-Indo-European *pornóm (“feather”), from Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to traverse; go across”). However, Kroonen instead reconstructs Proto-Indo-European *p(t)erH-,[1] a root whose morphology is subject to heated debate. See there for more.
In any case, cognate to Latvian papartis, Proto-Celtic *ɸratis, Sanskrit पर्ण (parṇa), and Proto-Slavic *paportь.
