2nd person singular imperative middle (or optative) of passati; surface form with Vedic-style ending -thayye (attested but archaic/rare in Pali texts; typically passassu)
Etymology. Root √pass- (to see) is cognate with Latin passus (experience, but via different semantic path; more directly related to Greek passein in some dialects). The imperative middle expresses seeing directed toward oneself or with personal interest.
