===Etymology===
Often interpreted as a compound originally meaning “bridge-maker”, from {{inh|la|itc-pro|*pontifaks}}, equivalent to {{suffix|la|pons|fex|alt1=pōns|gloss1=bridge|gloss2pos2=suffix representing a maker or producer|lang=la}}, either metaphorically “one who negotiates between gods and men” or literally if at some point the social class which supplied the priests was more or less identical with engineers that were responsible for building bridges. Compare {{cog|sa|पथिकृत्|tr=pathikṛ́t||path-maker}}, attested as an epithet of [[rishis]] in the Rig Veda.
