Etymology

Uncertain.

  • De Vaan derives the term from Proto-Sabellic *per-akni-, itself from Proto-Italic *atnos.
  • Poultney derives the term from Proto-Italic *per-ag-ni-, itself from *agō + *-no- (see terms such as Latin plΔ“nus), with the suffix converted into *-ni- on the model of terms such as *sakris. In this scenario, the term may be related to Latin peragō.
