Meaning & History
Derived from the Greek adjective παναίτιος (panaitios) meaning "cause of all, to whom all the guilt belongs". It is a compound word, of which the first element consists of πᾶν (pan), the neuter singular of Greek πᾶς (pas) meaning "all, every, each". The second element is derived from the Greek adjective αἴτιος (aitios) meaning "culpable, responsible". Also compare the Greek noun αἰτία (aitia) meaning "responsibility, guilt, blame, cause".
