[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Proto-Italic *e(s)peso, a compound pronoun whose p sound has an origin difficult to trace.
The p sound is traditionally explained as follows. In Old Latin when both parts were inflected, an epenthetic consonant, p, was inserted in the form *eum-sum, yielding *eum-p-sum. From these accusative forms the stems -pso and -psā were extracted and adapted to the nominative forms, thus *ipsus and *eapsa. Ultimately the paradigm was assimilated to that of iste, ille, with only later in the history of Latin neuter ipsum becoming ipsud.[1]
De Vaan argues that the p need not necessarily be epenthetic, but instead it may be the particle -pe.
