"falco" meaning in Latin

See falco in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈfal.koː/ [Classical], [ˈfäɫ̪koː] [Classical], /ˈfal.ko/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈfälko] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain and disputed origin, but probably from Germanic given the early attestation and widespread use of the word in Germanic. Perhaps from Old High German falco, falcho, falucho (“falcon”), from Proto-West Germanic *falkō, from Proto-Germanic *falkô (“falcon", literally, "grey bird”), from Proto-Indo-European *polH-, *pelH- (“grey, bluish”) + *-(u)k-, a suffix found in the names of several types of birds (e.g. *alkǭ, *habukaz, Proto-West Germanic *kranuk, etc.). Cognate with Old Saxon falko (“falcon”), Old English *fealca, fealcen (“falcon”), Old Norse fálki (“falcon”), Old High German falo (“pale”), Latin pullus (“dusky coloured, blackish”). More at fallow. Alternate etymology connects falco to Latin falx (“sickle, hook”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰelk-, *dʰelg- (“a cutting tool”) due to the bird's curved beak and talons, but this derivation is usually regarded as folk-etymology.

  "etymology_text": "Uncertain and disputed origin, but probably from Germanic given the early attestation and widespread use of the word in Germanic. Perhaps from Old High German falco, falcho, falucho (“falcon”), from Proto-West Germanic *falkō, from Proto-Germanic *falkô (“falcon\", literally, \"grey bird”), from Proto-Indo-European *polH-, *pelH- (“grey, bluish”) + *-(u)k-, a suffix found in the names of several types of birds (e.g. *alkǭ, *habukaz, Proto-West Germanic *kranuk, etc.).\nCognate with Old Saxon falko (“falcon”), Old English *fealca, fealcen (“falcon”), Old Norse fálki (“falcon”), Old High German falo (“pale”), Latin pullus (“dusky coloured, blackish”). More at fallow.\nAlternate etymology connects falco to Latin falx (“sickle, hook”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰelk-, *dʰelg- (“a cutting tool”) due to the bird's curved beak and talons, but this derivation is usually regarded as folk-etymology.",

  "etymology_text": "Uncertain and disputed origin, but probably from Germanic given the early attestation and widespread use of the word in Germanic. Perhaps from Old High German falco, falcho, falucho (“falcon”), from Proto-West Germanic *falkō, from Proto-Germanic *falkô (“falcon\", literally, \"grey bird”), from Proto-Indo-European *polH-, *pelH- (“grey, bluish”) + *-(u)k-, a suffix found in the names of several types of birds (e.g. *alkǭ, *habukaz, Proto-West Germanic *kranuk, etc.).\nCognate with Old Saxon falko (“falcon”), Old English *fealca, fealcen (“falcon”), Old Norse fálki (“falcon”), Old High German falo (“pale”), Latin pullus (“dusky coloured, blackish”). More at fallow.\nAlternate etymology connects falco to Latin falx (“sickle, hook”), from Proto-Indo-European *dʰelk-, *dʰelg- (“a cutting tool”) due to the bird's curved beak and talons, but this derivation is usually regarded as folk-etymology.",
