Keywords: Balkans; patior;

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes a re-examination of the hitherto supposed latin ancestry of rum. păţi, Arum. pat, Alb. pësoj, Bulg., Патя, Mac. пати, S.- Cr. Пàтити, all meaning „to suffer, endure, etc.“ and argues in favour of Greek πάσχω i.e. παθαίνω as the more probable common ultimate prototype, rather than Vlat. *patire < Lat. patior.
