Where does the word "father" come from? It traces back to Old English "fæder," meaning “he who begets a child,” or “one who cares for and guides another.” 🫶 It goes back to a shared root across many languages: Latin "pater," Greek "patēr," Sanskrit "pitar" — which come from the ancient Proto-Indo-European root "pəter."
