Reconstruction:Latin/praecunctare

Etymology
From Classical Latin, altered by contamination with the prefix as well as the verb.

Verb

 * 1) to ask
 * 2) to wonder

Reconstruction notes
Some of the descendants show a return of the first /r/ to its original position (e.g. Portuguese ). That this is a secondary development is demonstrated by the fact that original /k/ experienced intervocalic lenition everywhere.
