"fistula" meaning in Latin

See fistula in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈfɪs.tʊ.ɫa] [Classical-Latin], [ˈfis.tu.la] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Unknown. De Vaan thinks the most promising connection is with festūca (“stalk, straw”) and fistūca (“pile driver, ram”), built on a stem *festo- which may be connected to ferula (“fennel; staff”) by a root *fes- (“hollow stalk”). This makes any relationship to findō (“cleave, divide, split”) unlikely.
