Etymology

[edit]

    According to De Vaan, likely a back-formation from compound verbs formed from the stem *-plek-ā-, which themselves were likely formed from compound adjectives. Ultimately from the root Proto-Indo-European *pleḱ- (“to plait, to weave”) (with i from its compounds, which had much use), itself an extension of Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to wrap”). Cognate with plectō.[1]
