Uncertain. Perhaps related to Proto-Celtic *oβnus, which itself may attest to a Proto-Indo-European form *pow-. The stem *pav- would emerge from the Italic change of Proto-Indo-European *-ow- to *-aw-. According to De Vaan, the term may have emerged from Proto-Italic *pawēō, itself perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *pow-éh₁-ye-ti. Alternatively, it may be a stative from the root *peh₂w- (“to strike”), whence Latin paviō.
At least one rare poetic syncopated perfect form is attested.
