boace

Etymology

Inherited from Latin vōcem, accusative singular of vōx, from Proto-Italic *wōks, from Proto-Indo-European *wṓkʷs.

Boace was mainly displaced by the slavicism glas, which in turn was later replaced by the borrowed doublet voce during the re-latinisation of Romanian.

Cognate to Aromanian boatsi, Sicilian buci, Sardinian boghe, Dalmatian baud, Istriot boûz, Ladino boz, Spanish voz.
