"saxum" meaning in Latin

See saxum in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈsak.sum/ [Classical], [ˈs̠äks̠ʊ̃ˑ] [Classical], /ˈsak.sum/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈsäksum] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Italic *saksom, of unknown derivation. De Vaan rejects any connections with Proto-Indo-European *sek- (“to cut”), leaving it as unknown. This is due to the presence of the vowel a in the Latin word, reasoning that to obtain that vowel in that position, a laryngeal must be posited. The root *sek- does not have a laryngeal, ruling out a Proto-Indo-European derivation.

The root *sek- does not have a laryngeal, ruling out a Proto-Indo-European derivation.",
