Latin[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From pūmilus. Sometimes interpreted as formed by analogy with Ancient Greek Πυγμαῖοι (Pugmaîoi, “the Pigmies”), from πυγμή (pugmḗ, “fist”), but problematic. If so, ultimately cognate also with pugnus (“fist”).
Noun[edit]
pūmiliō m or f (genitive pūmiliōnis); third declension
