As a unit, this word means the systematic recitation or presentation of a genealogy. In modern Mäori or Mäori English it is often also used as a verb meaning “to trace one’s ancestry back to a particular point of connection”. Its component parts are the causative prefix whaka- and the root-word papa, derived from Proto-Austronesian *papa “flat, hard surface”, which in Proto-Eastern Oceanic had the meanings of “board, plank”. These were carried into Mäori, where whakapapa also came to mean “to place in layers”. The analogy with the orderly exposition of genealogical connections is obvious, and the term whakapapa has cognates with similar meaning in other Central Eastern Polynesian languages (Tuamotuan, Mangarevan and Rarotongan). Related terms include whakamoe, to trace a genealogy including both parents in each ascending generation, taotahi, to include only one ancestor at each generational level, tätai to recite genealogies, also lines of ancestry (especially those including links to others), and käwei, a line of descent.
