alacer

Etymology
Somewhat. The masculine nominative singular form is derived by syncope from alacris (attested in Ennius), which probably developed by dissimilation from earlier *alaklis, with the ending ultimately going back to -*tlis, from, a variant of the zero-grade of the agent suffix. Compare,. However, De Vaan regards the origin of the *-kris ending as uncertain. The *ala- portion is seemingly from a root of the form. De Vaan and Schrijver consider a potential but not certain cognate, and reconstruct the common root (if the relationship is valid) as, cognate with 🇨🇬. The same root may alternatively be reconstructed as. Another possible cognate is 🇨🇬, from. Another theory connects the word to 🇨🇬, whence 🇨🇬.
