cervus

Etymology
From, from , from (whence English , , Latin ) +  (whence Latin ).

Cognate with Welsh, Greek. The first-syllable e was likely taken from the PIE root noun (itself eventually lost in Latin), while the shift in meaning from 'horned' to 'deer' may be common Italo-Celtic.

Noun

 * 1)  deer, stag
 * 2)  forked stakes
 * 3)  cheval de frise
