nutrio

See also: nutrió

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *snoutrjō, from Proto-Indo-European *snew-tr-ih₂ (“female nurser”), maybe from *(s)neh₂- (“to flow”). Cognate with Sanskrit प्रस्नौति (prasnauti, “to drip, to release liquids”), प्रस्नुत (prasnuta, “releasing mother's milk”). Appurtenance of Ancient Greek νάω (náō, “to flow, to stream”) is difficult and requires additional assumptions.
