pathev.

Brit.

/peɪð/, U.S.

/peɪð/

Forms: late Middle English– pathed (past tense and past participle), 1600s 1900s– pathe, 1700s 1900s– path Brit.

/pɑːθ/,

/paθ/, U.S.

/pæθ/; also Scottish pre-1700 pathit (past tense and past participle).

Origin: Apparently a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: pave v.

Etymology: Apparently a variant of pave v., probably by association with path n.¹ Compare paithment n., path v., pathing n.¹Examples from before the 20th cent. not having the -ed or -ing form are rare, so that the spelling and pronunciation of the base form are unclear; but compare paithment n., with Middle English long ā and its later reflexes. In recent use the base form (with and without the 3rd singular present ending -s) has been spelt pathe, implying the pronunciation /peɪð/.

Now colloquial (nonstandard).

transitive. In early use: to pave (a street, floor, etc.). In later use only figurative in to pathe the way: = to pave the way at pave v. 3.
