Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]According to Isidore, a borrowing from Etruscan (see Etruscan 𐌋𐌀𐌍𐌉𐌔𐌕𐌀 (lanista, “headsman; gladiator”)) and also derived from the verb laniō (see also lanius (“butcher”)).[1] Ernout and Meillet view the -a ending as supporting an Etruscan origin.[2] However, De Vaan suggests an Indo-European etymology for lanius (“butcher”) and questions the Etruscan origin of this word family.[3]
