figulus

See also: Figulus

Latin

Etymology

    From Archaic Latin ficolos, from Proto-Italic *figelos, itself from *dʰeyǵʰ- + *-elos.[1] De Vaan, writing prior to the discovery of the inscription containing ficolos, suggests a possible derivation from Proto-Italic *fiɣlos, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰiǵʰ-lo-s, from *dʰeyǵʰ-.[2] This theory must now be abandoned on account of the new evidence.[1] By surface analysis, fingō +‎ -ulus.
