About This Root
From Latin pandere (to spread out, open, extend) and its past participle passum/patentem. Expand (spread out) is the most common derivative. Patent (lying open) and expanse (a wide stretch) also belong here. Company traces back through Old French from com- + panis (bread), not this root.
