"sibilus" meaning in Latin

See sibilus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [ˈsiː.bɪ.ɫʊs] [Classical-Latin], [ˈsiː.bi.lus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: An onomatopoeic formation, with similar words in various branches of Indo-European. Gamkrelidze and Ivanov derive the word from Proto-Indo-European *sweysd- (“to hiss”); if so, then related to Welsh chwythu (“to play instrument, blow”), Old Irish séitid (“to blow”), Polish gwizdać (“to whistle”), Old Church Slavonic свистати (svistati, “to whistle”), Russian свисте́ть (svistétʹ, “to whistle”), Sanskrit क्ष्वेडति (kṣveḍati, “to whisper, hum, buzz”), Hindi सीटी (sīṭī, “to whistle”), Proto-Germanic *sweglō (“flute”) and Proto-Germanic *sweglōną (“to play flute”) (compare Old High German swegala (“flute”) and Gothic 𐍃𐍅𐌹𐌲𐌻𐍉𐌽 (swiglōn, “to play flute”)).
