Etymology

[edit]

Probably from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂w-. Latin paucus (few, little), pauper (poor), paulus (small), parvus (small), Old Armenian փոքր (pʻokʻr) and Old English fēaw (English few). However only Ancient Greek φαῦλος (phaûlos) has the exact meaning, suggesting that probably both words have a common substrate origin and are not related to the PIE root.

Prefix

[edit]

palo-

  1. (derogatory) a prefix signifying crummy old..., devil of a..., big old...
