𐌊𐌞𐌍𐌔𐌝𐌚

Oscan

Etymology

Uncertain. Most likely related to Latin dī cōnsentēs, although the etymology of the Latin cognate is itself disputed. According to the linguist Nicholas Zair, the Oscan form was perhaps inherited from Proto-Italic *konsēnts, a present active participle to a verb *konsēō, itself from Proto-Indo-European *ḱons-éye-ti, a verb formed from the root *ḱens-.[1] The linguist Blanca María Prósper suggests that the preservation of /ns/ may reflect Latin influence.[2]
