Faliscan

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *argentom, from Proto-Indo-European *hβ‚‚rΜ₯Η΅nΜ₯tΓ³m. Cognate to Latin argentum.[1]. Formed via the root noun for silver and the diminutive suffix -πŒ„πŒ‹πŒπŒ” (-elos). This term has also been interpreted as an adjective, with the original inscription perhaps resembling the Latin phrase "dupondium argentulum fusile." Another proposal is that the term may be derived from Latin arceō, although this theory is rejected by Bakkum.
