"fustis" meaning in Latin

See fustis in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈfuːs.tɪs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈfus.tis] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Of disputed origin: * Some indicate derivation from Proto-Indo-European *bʰewd- (“to hit, beat”). Compare *fūtō (“to strike”); this theory is favored by De Vaan, who proposes phonetic development from *fūt-ti-s < *fūssi-s, though he is skeptical of the form of the original Indo-European root. * Others, for *fonstis < *fondtis < *xʷondtis, refer it to Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰen- (“to strike, slay, kill”). Compare offendō.
