cath

Clippings of various words, based on their shared prefix cath-, primarily from Ancient Greek κᾰθ’ (kăth’), κᾰτᾰ́ (kătắ, whence English cata-); the cath- in cathinone is from Catha, the genus name of Catha edulis, a Latinization of Arabic قات (qāt), the plant's native name (whence English khat).
