ENTRY: pet-
DEFINITION: Also pet- (oldest form *pet1-). To rush, fly. Variant *pte1-, contracted to *pt-.
Derivatives include feather, compete, perpetual, ptomaine, symptom, and hippopotamus
I went to bartlbys site, read the definition, and clicked on the green pet in etimology and lo! there appeared the hippopotomus!
