"hircus" meaning in All languages combined

See hircus on Wiktionary

Noun [Latin]

IPA: /ˈhir.kus/ [Classical], [ˈhɪrkʊs̠] [Classical], /ˈir.kus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈirkus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Unknown. As with other Indo-European words for “goat”, a reliable Proto-Indo-European etymon cannot be formally reconstructed. Nonetheless, compare Old High German irah, irh (“buck”), which Pokorny says is borrowed from the Latin. Possibly related to hirpus (“wolf”) and/or hirtus (“hairy, shaggy”); according to Pokorny, all three are from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰers- (“to bristle”).
