pactum

Etymology 1
From.

Etymology 2
Originally from, from , whence also. Not easily distinguishable from Etymology 1 already in Proto-Indo-European, which might reflect an eventual merger of a split outcome of the same root.

Pronunciation
Note: uncertainty about derivation likely entailed variation in the length of the /a/; however, vowel reduction in indicates that it was originally short.
