Etymology

Semantically as though pari- +‎ tasati, but the 's' is doubled for some reason. It may be a by-form from a different way of forming the verb, or metathesis of the forerunner Sanskrit त्रसति (trasati).

Verb

paritassati (root tas, third conjugation)

  1. to tremble, to be afraid[1]
  2. to be excited[2]
