"anser" meaning in Latin

See anser in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈan.ser/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈä̃ːs̠ɛr] [Classical-Latin], /ˈan.ser/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈänser] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From presumed Proto-Italic *hāns (stem *han-s-, where the strong stem was most likely contaminated by the weak stem, resulting in *hānsez- > Latin (h)ānser-), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰh₂éns (or similar; the reconstruction is debated). The form is possibly influenced by unrelated anas (“duck”). Cognates include Sanskrit हंस (haṃsa), Ancient Greek χήν (khḗn), Russian гусь (gusʹ), Old Irish géiss, Old English gōs (English goose), and Albanian gatë (“heron”).
