"cervus" meaning in Latin

See cervus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈker.u̯us/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈkɛru̯ʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈt͡ʃer.vus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈt͡ʃɛrvus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *kerwos, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱr̥h₂wós, from *ḱerh₂- (“horn”) (whence English horn, hirn, Latin cornū (“horn”)) + *-wós (whence Latin -vus). Cognate with Welsh carw (“deer”), Greek κεραός (keraós, “horned”). The first-syllable e was likely taken from the PIE root noun *ḱerh₂s (“horn”) (itself eventually lost in Latin), while the shift in meaning from 'horned' to 'deer' may be common Italo-Celtic.

The first-syllable e was likely taken from the PIE root noun *ḱerh₂s (“horn”) (itself eventually lost in Latin), while the shift in meaning from 'horned' to 'deer' may be common Italo-Celtic.",
