Etymology: Old English píí, from West Germanic - paía-, of uncertain origin, but perhaps an early borrowing from an Iranian language (Avestan pÉntÉ (nominative), pÉÉ (genitive) way, Old Persian pÉthi-), in which case it would be derived from the same Indo-European root as English find). Cognate with Dutch padDutch, pad, German Pfad.
