Analysis. pātu (visible, manifest) + karoti (makes, does): 'makes manifest' or 'causes to appear'. The prefix pātu- derives from pa- (forth, forward) + √tud (to push, thrust), giving the sense of pushing forward into visibility.

Etymology. pātu- from pa- (forward, forth) + √tud (push, thrust), cognate with English 'taut' (stretched forth) and Latin tutus (protected, made safe by being brought forward into clarity). The verb karoti (makes, does) is cognate with Greek κέρδος kérdos (gain, profit — what one makes) and English 'craft'.
