"ancus" meaning in Latin

See ancus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

IPA: /ˈan.kus/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈäŋkʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈan.kus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈäŋkus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain; possibly from angō (“to draw together, to strangle”). It could also be from Proto-Indo-European *h₂énkos (“curve”), but this is a neuter s-stem noun (like e.g. genus), a formation unknown to adjectives. If from Proto-Indo-European *h₂énkos (“curve”), it would possibly be cognate with Latin angulus (“angle”) and hence English angle.
