köken: From Middle Persian 𐭯𐭥𐭭 (pʿn) / PWN (pad, “to, at, in, on”), from Old Persian 𐎱𐎫𐎡𐎹 (p-t-i-y /patiy/), from Proto-Iranian *pati-. Northern Luri ڤە (ve).
From ora (apheretic form of ahora) + le. Unrelated to the imperative órale (“pray!, say!”) in etymology 2, though perhaps influenced by it through association. Some other Mexican Spanish exhortative exclamations are proparoxytone imperative forms ending in -le (ándale, apúrale, córrele, etc.).
