What is the long form for the word Papa's?

Papa's is the possessive form of papa, which is another word for father.

Papa is the full word. Some people may still use it when talking about or to their father, but many consider papa to be an archaic word.

The English word papa is from the French papa, which is from the Latin papa, a child's word for father. 'Papa' is a child's version of pater (Latin), meaning father.
