Etymologie (Englisch)

From Proto-Italic *-ātos, from Proto-Indo-European *-eh₂tos. A "pseudo-participle" possibly related to -tus, though similar formations in other Indo-European languages show that it was distinct from it already in Indo-European times. Compare -ītus, -ūtus.
Cognate to Proto-Slavic *-atъ, Proto-Germanic *-ōdaz (English -ed (“having”)).
