The English equivalent of the *perpetrator* is derived from Latin. It comes from the prefix **"per-"** meaning "through" and the verb **"patrare"** meaning "to complete." *Patrare* itself is derived from the word **"pater,"** which means "father."
Ayşe Tülay’s *per-pater* study is one of the visual research pieces aimed at deciphering the perpetrator within the exhibition she is designing under the title *"I do not want to kill."*
*Compiled from the descriptions of the perpetrator of the ‘Snowball Murder’ on Twitter.*
