pri- "at, by" + c^initi "to do"

= to do at = to be at the "doing" = to participate in
the "doing" = to be one of the causes

>> noun "one of the causes" = "a cause"

...approximately :-)))

Petusek

*pri- may also mean "to" (Czech pr^ipsat "add
writing", pr^ide^lat "to put to, add to" etc.)

pri:c^ina "cause" can thus be understood as something
that was "added to reach a goal", hence a "cause".
