th (“(one) transgressing, violating, deviating from”) + mtn (“way, road, path”), thus literally ‘one deviating from the path’. This term is not attested with the older writing of mtn, namely mṯn.
m
- transgressor, wrongdoer, one who violates one’s social obligations
- (with following genitive) one who is disloyal, rebellious, insubordinate against (someone), one who violates one’s social obligations to (another)
