    If Greek pâs/pân/pánta/etc. meaning "all, universal" is related to Arshian /pone/pontaṃts/etc. meaning "all, universal" (and it's compelling to think they are) the PIE form would be *peh₂nts which is almost the same as the ancestral form *peh₂nets indicated by Latin penes/penitus meaning "store of food". The semantic ancestor would presumably be "that which is watched over", with the semantic divergence to "visible" and "feeding" that appears (ha!) throughout the family.

    Pantalone is the satirical representation of the rich and powerful in commedia dell'arte, and appears as an old man who wears trousers because his legs have gotten too skinny to hold up his hose.

    "All the World's a Stage"/"The Seven Ages of Man" monologue in _As You Like It_ (William Shakespeare) says:

    "The lean and slippered pantaloon [...] His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide for his shrunk shank".
