Spanish: dulce

[ˈd̪ʊɫ̪kɪs̠]

From Proto-Italic *dulkwis (“sweet”), most likely akin to Ancient Greek γλυκύς (glukús, “sweet”), both traditionally derived from a tentative Proto-Indo-European *dl̥kús (“sweet”), although the fall of -u- in the Latin form would be left unexplained, and the Greek form is problematic as well. Given that Latin and Greek are linguistically quite distant while being very close geographically, it is likely the word does not go back to PIE as it may have been borrowed from a common unknown source, possibly related to lac (“milk”).

ref

The expected outcome would have been **dulquis, with the u-stem regularly extended into an i- one, as in brevis, tenuis, etc.<ref name=deVaan/>

cāna prius gelidō dēsint absinthia Pontō
et careat dulcī Trīnacris Hybla thymō

Sooner would pale wormwood be missing from icy Pontus or Sicilian Hybla lack its sweet-scented thyme
