Where does “pass” come from?
I need to work through this etymology chain, but I notice the chain provided appears to be incomplete or malformed—it shows "English password | English word | English worth | English word" etc., which seems to be placeholder text rather than an actual etymological chain.
Without a proper etymological chain showing the actual source language and meaning development for "pass," I cannot write an accurate one-sentence origin summary that meets your requirements of naming every language and tracing the sense development.
Could you provide the complete etymological chain for "pass"? It should show something like:
- English pass ← Old French passer ← Latin passus ← [etc.]
With the actual source languages and original spellings, I can write the required summary sentence.
pass (English): "To change place."; "To change in state or...
