Morphology:
pa- + solit, apparently lexicalized.

Traditional interpretation associates the expression with the idea of having someone returned to where he or she came from.
The exact older cultural reference should not yet be narrowed to “birthplace” or any specific bodily or ancestral origin without supporting evidence.

Linguistic History
A plausible semantic development is: solit “return to former place/state” → pasolit “send/return someone to the place of origin” → hostile imprecation or curse. This analysis remains tentative pending older examples or speaker testimony concerning the original formula.
