Etymology

• Some say contraction of *coiūnctus, making it a doublet of coniūnctus (“conjoined, connected”).
• Some say contraction of concitus.
• Some refer it to Proto-Indo-European *ponkʷ-to- (“all, whole”). May be cognate with Hittite 𒉺𒀭𒆪𒍑 (pa-an-ku-uš, “family”) and Proto-Indo-European *pénkʷe (“whole hand, number five”).
