"pistillum" meaning in Latin

See pistillum in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /pisˈtil.lum/ [Classical-Latin], [pɪs̠ˈt̪ɪlːʲʊ̃ˑ] [Classical-Latin], /pisˈtil.lum/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [pisˈt̪ilːum] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: A diminutive formation from the root of pīnsō and pistō. Perhaps from *pistlelo-, diminutive of *pistlo- (the ancestor of pīlum (“pounder, pestle”)), from *pis- and the instrument noun suffix *tlo-. Alternatively from *pistrelo-, with the -tr- variant of the instrument noun suffix. On the one hand, the base *pistrum is not attested, and the phonetically regular outcome of *pistrelo- would probably be pistellum rather than pistillum. On the other hand, reconstructing a *-s-tl- sequence in the base at the time the diminutive was derived is chronologically problematic since *-tl- was changed to *-kl-* from early on in Italic (as seen in the Latin instrument suffix -culum).
