Etymology

From Proto-Celtic *tātants, from a participial derivative of an extension of Proto-Indo-European *teh₂- (“to steal”). Cognate to Proto-Slavic *tatь (“thief”). The nominative singular is irregular, as *tádae would be expected. It is likely that the nominative singular was originally a related abstract/agentive i-stem *tātis (derived with *-tis) that was conflated with the nt-stem and incorporated in its paradigm.
