"opilio" meaning in Latin

See opilio in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Etymology: Ultimately equivalent to ovis (“sheep”) + *piliō (uncertain meaning: “herd”, “driver”?), the latter component perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *pelh₂- (“to drive”), but not entirely inherited. The variants likely point to either dialectal influence or borrowings from other Italic languages; ū- in ūpiliō in particular looks to be Osco-Umbrian. Could be derived from a Proto-Italic compound such as *owi-polos. See cognates at Proto-Indo-European *h₂ówis (“sheep”).
