"nuntius" meaning in Latin

See nuntius in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈnuːn.ti.us/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈnuːn̪t̪iʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈnun.t͡si.us/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈnunt̪͡s̪ius] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Uncertain; competing hypotheses include: * From Proto-Indo-European *newH- (“to cry”), whence Sanskrit नु (nu, “to sound out, praise”), नवते (navate, “to cry”), Old Irish núall (“a loud noise”), Tocharian B nu- (“to roar”). This is tentatively favored by de Vaan. * Contracted from noventius, from an obsolete noveō, from novus, though this is rejected by de Vaan due to the hypothetical proto-form *no(wo)wentio- not making sense morphologically. * From Proto-Indo-European *new- (“to nod”), same source as Latin *nuō, Ancient Greek νεύω (neúō, “to beckon, nod”) and Old Irish noid (“make known”). This derivation may be a relic of an era when laryngeal theory was not as widely accepted and *newH- (“to cry”) was considered the same root as *new- (“to nod”), in which case the *new- derivation should be discarded. * From Etruscan [script needed] (nunth, “to bring”).

This is tentatively favored by de Vaan.\n* Contracted from noventius, from an obsolete noveō, from novus, though this is rejected by de Vaan due to the hypothetical proto-form *no(wo)wentio- not making sense morphologically.\n* From Proto-Indo-European *new- (“to nod”), same source as Latin *nuō, Ancient Greek νεύω (neúō, “to beckon, nod”) and Old Irish noid (“make known”). This derivation may be a relic of an era when laryngeal theory was not as widely accepted and *newH- (“to cry”) was considered the same root as *new- (“to nod”), in which case the *new- derivation should be discarded.\n* From Etruscan [script needed] (nunth, “to bring”).",
