Disputed. Within Italic, the term has been connected to Volscian arpatitu.
The LIV opts to derive the Latin term from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kuh₁t-yé-ti, itself from a root of the shape *(s)kweh₁t-, whence also Ancient Greek πάσσω (pássō, “to sprinkle”), Old Norse skynda, and Lithuanian kusti. According to this theory, the *a is by analogy with faciō. De Vaan, however, argues that the number of formal difficulties complicating an etymological relationship between the Latin and Greek term could imply a substrate root of the shape *kwat- (“to shake, strew”). Even if just the Germanic, Balto-Slavic, and Italic forms are considered, De Vaan suggests only a root of the shape Proto-Indo-European *(s)kwot-, which he considers to possibly be non-Indo-European.
quatiō (present infinitive quatere, supine quassum); third (-iō variant) conjugation, no perfect stem
