2. sakkaronta (prp): honouring; esteeming; respecting

Built from

• sam — prefix · together, completely
  Brings things into unity; here, the gathering of respect or honour toward a person. Works like Latin con- (conference, connect).
• kar — root · do, make
  The root kar√kr̥ carries the basic sense of action and crafting. Cognate with English 'care', Greek κορέω (koreo, satisfy), and Latin creare (create).
• o — ending · present active 3rd person plural
  The -o ending marks present indicative active in 3rd person plural; -nti is the standard plural marker in Pali present tense.

Etymology. From sam- (together, completely) + kar- (to do, make), literally 'makes together' or 'brings together with respect'. The prefix sam- emphasizes the completeness of the gesture. Cognate with Latin cārā (dear, precious), where the root sense of 'bringing together' underlies the notion of caring.
