Origin
- From Hungarian Tisza. Known in Latin as Pathissus, Ancient Greek Πάθισσος, perhaps from Thracian–Dacian *patis, from Proto-Indo-European *póntoh₁s; compare Sanskrit पाथस् ("water"), पथिन्, Ancient Greek πόντος. The word may have been reanalyzed by the Slavic tribes as composed of Proto-Slavic *po ("by, at") + *tisъ (compare ). More at Tisza.
