Origins
From Proto-Italic *pāskōr (“to be fed, driven to pasture”) from Proto-Indo-European *peh₂- (“to protect, shepherd”), equivalent to the passive of pāscō. Late Latin pāscārī from change in conjugation of pāscī. Compare passive voice Ancient Greek ποιμαίνεσθαι (poimaínesthai, “to pasture, graze, feed”).
