apoculo

Latin

Etymology

Uncertain. If the penultimate vowel was short, perhaps from Ancient Greek ἀποκυλίω (apokulíō, “to roll away, roll back”). If long, then from Ancient Greek ἀπο- (apo-, “away”) + cūlō, another uncertain hapax from cūlus (“arse”), hence similar in formation to bugger off. Other proposals link it to oculus and even pōculum.

Pronunciation

• (Classical Latin) IPA^(key): /a.poˈkuː.loː/, [äpɔˈkuːɫ̪oː] or IPA^(key): /aˈpo.ku.loː/, [äˈpɔkʊɫ̪oː]
• (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA^(key): /a.poˈku.lo/, [äpoˈkuːlo] or IPA^(key): /aˈpo.ku.lo/, [äˈpɔːkulo]
• Note: the length of all the stem vowels is uncertain.
