"arcera" meaning in Latin

See arcera in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Perhaps from Proto-Italic *arkezā, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂erk-. De Vaan suggests that it may have been formed innovatively from the root of arca (“chest, box”) after the model of cumera (“chest, box”). Related with Latin to arcānus (“hidden, secret”). More distantly connected with Old Armenian արգել (argel, “obstacle”) and Ancient Greek ἀρκέω (arkéō, “to ward off”).
