Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Borrowed from Umbrian 𐌉𐌊𐌖𐌅𐌉𐌖𐌌 (ikuvium), of uncertain origin; possibly from *𐌐𐌉𐌊𐌖𐌅𐌉𐌖𐌌 (*pikuvium, “town of the woodpecker”), with loss of initial P, from 𐌐𐌄𐌉𐌊𐌀 (peika, “woodpecker”) << Proto-Italic *peikā << Proto-Indo-European *(s)peyk-.
However, it could instead be from a pre-Etruscan, pre-Umbrian substrate (eastern Italic); compare Igilium.
