Etymology[edit]
Uncertain.[1] Possibly from Proto-Indo-European *a(m)p-i- (“stinging insect; bee”), related to German Imme (“bee; swarm of bees”), Old English imbe. Phonetically impossible is any connection with Proto-Indo-European *bʰey- which gave instead fūcus ‘drone’. Another hypothesis suggests an Oscan-Umbrian loan from an original *akuis (“sharp, stinging”) (e.g. Latin aqui- (“sharp”) in aquifolius, aquilinus); the Osco-Umbrian reflex of Proto-Indo-European labiovelar */kʷ/ that gives Latin <qu> is regularly /p/.
