Proto-Italic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Probably from Proto-Indo-European *wisgeh₂ (“flexible rod or stick”), and cognate with Proto-Germanic *wiskaz (“bundle of hay or straw, wisp”).[1] The Proto-Indo-European term is sometimes taken as an extension of Proto-Indo-European *weys- (“to produce, procreate”), or alternatively from a stem *weyḱs- (see *weyḱ- (“to enter”)).
