Hi Ben,

cpds is the abbreviation for compounds.

'ceto' can only be found in compounds, i.e. as part of larger words,
predominantly as a prefix. When standing alone, the term 'citta' is
used. So, ceto = citta. The word citta generally means mind.


metta,

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.
