From Classical Syriac ܐܦܬܝ (ʾap̄tī, “to expand; to propagate (orthodoxy)”),[1] which is a causative to Proto-West Semitic *pataw- (“to penetrate”), perhaps also encompassing idioms such as Akkadian 𒊻𒉆 𒉿𒌅𒌑𒌝 (uznam petûm), 𒊻𒉆 𒁍𒌓𒌅𒌝 (uznam puttûm, literally “to open an ear”),[2] from the related *pataḥ- (“to open”), so it would be equivalent to Arabic فَتَحَ أُذْنًا (fataḥa ʔuḏnan).
The corresponding noun فَتْوَى (fatwā, “formal opinion”) has its patterning reflecting Classical Syriac ܦܬܘܐ (peṯwā, “spinning out, breadth (of words)”).
