Etymology
From, from (form only attested in a 13th-century manuscript). The variant is from , , , from  or  (probably a masculine or neuter). These forms can be derived from, , which also underlie most of the dialectal Romance forms in Switzerland and northern Italy, probably from an extinct Alpine language (such as or ), eventually perhaps from, although this is speculative. A more western form of the same word is attested in 🇨🇬 (5th century).
