Etymology

[edit]

From Middle Persian [script needed] (ptmwtn', ptmʾd- /⁠paymūdan, paymāy-⁠/, to measure), ultimately from *pati- and *maH- (to measure), the latter from Proto-Indo-Iranian *maH-, from Proto-Indo-European *meh₁- (to measure). Cognate with Parthian 𐫛𐫅𐫖𐫀𐫅𐫗 (padmādan, to measure), Northern Kurdish pîvan (to measure), Sogdian [script needed] (ptmʾtʾy /⁠patmātē⁠/, measured, frugal). Akin to Old Armenian պատմեմ (patmem, to tell, narrate), an Iranian borrowing.
