If fabro and its cousins are etymologically related to a smattering of words found in Baltic (Lithuanian dabà "nature"), Slavic (Old Church Slavonic podoba "ornamentation"), and Germanic (Gothic gadof "fitting," "right"), then Beekes (1996) believes all of these words must be borrowed from a non-Indo-European language with a root *dhabh-.

The frequentive suffixes in Latin indicated repeated actions. Suffixes like these are akin to the English suffix -le, found in words like joust ~ jostle and mud ~ muddle. Suffix -tare belongs to a larger group of frequentive suffixes in Latin, -tare, -(s)sare, and -itare, all derived from the present tense of the ancient verb. See Sihler (2008) for further discussion.
For information on the Latin suffixes -titare and -sitare as found in Spanish, see cantar.
