Etymology[edit]
Inherited from Latin serpēns, apparently via the nominative form, perhaps remodeled into a Vulgar Latin *serpēs, *serpem. Ultimately from Latin serpere (“slither, creep”), from Proto-Indo-European *serp-. Cf. Spanish pavo (“turkey”) and gorgojo (“weevil”) for other animal names that may derive from the Latin nominative. Doublet of serpiente, from the Latin accusative serpentem. Compare Portuguese serpe, Catalan serp, Italian serpe, Romanian șarpe.
