पता

/pə.t̪ɑː/ Hindi, Standard
[pɐ.t̪äː] Hindi, Standard

Where it comes from

Cognate with Punjabi ਪਤਾ (patā). Of uncertain origin, with some theories, all of which involve dubious semantic drift:

* Borrowed from Classical Persian پَتَه (pata, “bond, lease”).

* Contraction of पत्ता (pattā, “leaflet”).

* Derived from Prakrit पत्तिअ (pattia, “trusting”), derived from Sanskrit प्रत्यय (pratyaya, “belief, trust”). This theory is unlikely even based on phonetic grounds. For example, Sanskrit प्रत्यय (pratyaya) should yield Prakrit *𑀧𑀘𑁆𑀘𑀅 (*paccaa).
