Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain; possibly from angō (“to draw together, to strangle”). It could also be from Proto-Indo-European *h₂énkos (“curve”), but this is a neuter s-stem noun (like e.g. genus), a formation unknown to adjectives. If from Proto-Indo-European *h₂énkos (“curve”), it would possibly be cognate with Latin angulus (“angle”) and hence English angle.

[edit]- (Classical Latin) IPA(key): /ˈan.kus/, [ˈäŋkʊs̠]
- (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈan.kus/, [ˈäŋkus]
Adjective
