sutriballus
Latin
Etymology
Uncertain, but perhaps a corruption of *sūtribāiulus (“cobbler’s porter”) — originally denoting a cobbler’s assistant — from sūtor (“cobbler”) + bāiulus (“porter”); for the reduction of the combining stem of sūtor from sūtōr- to sūtr-, compare sūtrīnus and sūtrīx (regular in the latter).
