The Aramaic is of an unknown origin, and means "hammer." Did you happen to notice that the Lexicographer didn't really know what they are? That's the interesting thing about Bible interpretation. We don't have Bible translations, all we read is interpretation of how people understood the word's usage at the time in which it was being used. Therefore when we deal with the Greek, Old Testament, or New Testament we refer to material which was either pagan, or secular written at the time of the writings in which we are studying. When researching the Hebrew, Aramaic, of the Bible, we must look at the Bible which was originally used by the New Testament writers. Which was the LXX. How was the verse interpreted by those who were reading it 400 years before the birth of Christ?

פַּטִּישׁ • (patísh) m (plural indefinite פַּטִּישִׁים, singular construct פַּטִּישׁ־, plural construct פַּטִּישֵׁי־)

A hammer.

Bro, the Lexicographer when you read his definition he really doesn't have an answer. Just his interpretation, and doesn't bring in the Vulgate, or the LXX.

Pants are male attire.
