Noun [Latin]

IPA: [ˈsak.sũː] [Classical-Latin], [ˈsak.sum] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *saksom, of unknown derivation. De Vaan rejects any connections with Proto-Indo-European *sek- (“to cut”), leaving it as unknown. This is due to the presence of the vowel a in the Latin word, reasoning that to obtain that vowel in that position, a laryngeal must be posited. The root *sek- does not have a laryngeal, ruling out a Proto-Indo-European derivation. Despite this, it cannot be separated from Proto-Germanic *sahsą.
