"balteus" meaning in Latin

See balteus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈbaɫ.te.ʊs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈbal.te.us] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Charisius says Varro considered it of Etruscan origin (compare Etruscan 𐌁𐌀𐌋𐌕𐌄𐌀 (baltea, “belt”)). Ernout and Meillet accept its Etruscan origin and interpret -eus as a characteristic ending of Etruscan loanwords, whereas Bonfante Warren is skeptical of this etymology, noting that the voiced consonant /b/ is foreign to Etruscan.
