Noun

IPA: [fɛˈnɛs.tra] [Classical-Latin], [feˈnɛs.tra] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Apparently from Etruscan *𐌚𐌍𐌄𐌔𐌕𐌓𐌀 (*fnestra); and fēstra from Etruscan *𐌚𐌄𐌍𐌔𐌕𐌓𐌀 (*fenstra). Compare the Etruscan personal name [script needed] (fnes-ci) and the Latin placename Fensernia, but nothing is known about the meaning of the Etruscan base.
