• prōsāpiēs

From prō- +‎ an unknown element. Nikolaev derives the second element from Proto-Indo-European *seh₂p-, meaning "to strike" and connects the word to Latin sopio, meaning "penis", Sanskrit sāpáyati "to strike", Hittite šapp- "to hit", Ossetic safyn and isafun "to destroy", Greek ίάπτειν (íáptein) "to hurt" and Lithuanian sopėti "hurts". ^[1] The semantic development of the word would be "strike > to have sexual intercourse > to beget", at which point the word was prefixed.
