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/.

cog

Or as the bees, when they have found plants to plunder of their honey, hover hither and thither among the thyme and the flowers.

From Proto-Italic *mormīkā, from Proto-Indo-European *morwi (a term with many deviating forms, probably taboo distortions, in various Indo-European languages).

Cognate with Sanskrit वम्र (vamra), Ancient Greek μύρμηξ (múrmēx), Old Church Slavonic мравии (mravii), Polish mrówka, Old Irish moirb, Welsh myrion, Old Norse maurr, English mire, Albanian morr.

Ac velut ingentem formīcae farris acervum

29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 4.402–403

And just as ants, when they plunder a big heap of grain — mindful of winter — and store it in their nest; ….

cum populant, hiemīs memorēs, tēctōque repōnunt; ….

vāde ad formīcam ō piger et cōnsīderā viās eius et disce sapientiam
Go to the ant, O sluggard, and consider her ways, and learn wisdom

Yola: labstaar

[ɫ̪oːˈkʊs̠t̪ä]

[ɫ̪ɔˈkʊs̠t̪ä]

The origin is uncertain, length of the first vowel varies. According to De Vaan, the only word similar in form and meaning is lacerta (“lizard; mackerel”) and “they could be cognate words in the language from which Latin borrowed these forms”. Pokorny connects lō̆custa and lacerta with Ancient Greek λάξ (láx) λάγδην (lágdēn, “with the foot”, adverb), λάκτις (láktis, “pestle”), λικερτίζειν (likertízein, “to jump, to dance”) and Old Norse leggr (“lower leg, bone”), Lombardic lagi (“thigh”), deriving all from Proto-Indo-European *lek- (“joint, member; to bend, to wind”), explaining lō̆custa as “equipped with joints”. This is considered unconvincing by De Vaan.

Analyzable as *ēr-ūca, from ēr (“hedgehog”) + a suffix -ūca which is likely by analogy with verrūca (“wart, hillock”), named so for the rugged backs of many caterpillars resembling those of hedgehogs.
An alternative theory derives the word from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰer(s)-uk-eh₂, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰers- (“to bristle”) (likely of the same ultimate origin as the above etymology), see also Welsh garw (“rough”), Avestan 𐬰𐬀𐬭𐬱𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬀𐬨𐬥𐬀 (zaršaiiamna, “ruffling one's feathers”), Sanskrit हर्षते (harṣate, “bristles”).
Latin erūca and its variant urūca denote the plant and the caterpillar. In such cases, usually the animal name is primary and has been extended to the plant (so the rocket can be interpreted as “caterpillar plant”).
