father
père
Etymology: Probably from one of the first syllables uttered by babies, pa- (along with ma-, ba-, da-, and ta-) plus the Indo-European kineship suffix -ter, also found in "mother," "sister," and "brother." This gave us the ancestor of Greek "pater," Latin "pater," and Sanskrit "pitAr." Latin "pater" devolved into Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese "padre" and French "père." Sanskrit "pitAr" became Hindi pitA, Marathi "pitaa," Pali "pitu," Pashto "plaar." In the Germanic languages we find English "father," German Vater," Norwegian "far," and Swedish "fader." Gaelic athair and Armenian "hair" wended their way from the same progenitor. Russian otec, Serbian otac, and Albanian "atë" were borrowed from Turkic "ata." pedar (PIE peter-)

[Old Indo-Europeen kineship terms] are agreed in pointing to a society that was patriarchal, patrilocal (the bride leaving her household to join that of her husband’s family), and patrilineal (descent reckoned by the male line). “Father” and “head of the household” are one: peter-, with his spouse, the mâter-.
