aquilus
Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Traditionally derived by the Romans from aqua (“water”), which is supported by Pokorny, who also adduces Aquilō (“the North wind”) as related.[1] Though the above theory is rejected by Ernout and Meillet, De Vaan finds it preferable to an alternative derivation from aquila (“eagle”) suggested by Cohen 2004: 32.[2]
