What are words with the prefix pat?

There aren't many words in English with the prefix "pat". The most common one is "pathetic", meaning evoking pity or sadness.

However, some words might be considered to have "pat" as a prefix, even if they aren't officially listed as such. These include:

* "Patch": This word can be seen as related to "pat" in the sense of a small, flat piece of something, like a "patch of land".

* "Pattern": This word could be considered to be derived from "pat", suggesting a repeated shape or design.

It's important to note that these interpretations are not universally accepted and are more of a linguistic curiosity than a definitive rule.
