Hi all,

I've been trying to figure out the meaning of the word "ceto". There
are terms such as cetovimutti, cetopasāda and cetosamatha where ceto
is used as a prefix. What does ceto mean? Does it have any meaning of
its own?

I checked this site:
http://www.saigon.com/~anson/ebud/dict-pe/dictpe-09-c.htm

Here, the meaning of ceto is given as "is the form that ceta takes in
cpds". I don't understand what cpds means and hence the entire
meaning. Hope some of you can help me.

Thanks a lot!
Ben
