"etymology_text": "Uncertain. Phonetically impossible is any connection with Proto-Indo-European *bʰey- which gave instead fūcus (“drone”). Traditionally also hypothesized as from Proto-Indo-European *e/a(m)p-i- (“stinging insect; bee”), related to German Imme (“bee; swarm of bees”), Old English imbe and Ancient Greek ἐμπίς (empís, “a stinging or biting insect”). However, this has characteristics of a European substrate word. According to Vennemann's Atlantic substrate theory, the ultimate source may be a Semitic word cognate with Egyptian ꜥfj (“bee”) (though no attested Semitic cognates survive); de Vaan finds this plausible. Another hypothesis suggests an Oscan-Umbrian loan from an original *akuis (“sharp, stinging”) (e.g. Latin aqui- (“sharp”) in aquifolius, aquilinus); the Osco-Umbrian reflex of Proto-Indo-European labiovelar */kʷ/ that gives Latin is regularly /p/.",

"etymology_text": "Uncertain. Phonetically impossible is any connection with Proto-Indo-European *bʰey- which gave instead fūcus (“drone”). Traditionally also hypothesized as from Proto-Indo-European *e/a(m)p-i- (“stinging insect; bee”), related to German Imme (“bee; swarm of bees”), Old English imbe and Ancient Greek ἐμπίς (empís, “a stinging or biting insect”). However, this has characteristics of a European substrate word. According to Vennemann's Atlantic substrate theory, the ultimate source may be a Semitic word cognate with Egyptian ꜥfj (“bee”) (though no attested Semitic cognates survive); de Vaan finds this plausible. Another hypothesis suggests an Oscan-Umbrian loan from an original *akuis (“sharp, stinging”) (e.g. Latin aqui- (“sharp”) in aquifolius, aquilinus); the Osco-Umbrian reflex of Proto-Indo-European labiovelar */kʷ/ that gives Latin is regularly /p/.",
