promello

Latin

Etymology

Disputed. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *mel-. Prefixed with prō-. The linguists José Marcos Macedo and Daniel Kölligan instead propose a connection with the root *melh₃-, a root also seen in Ancient Greek βλώσκω (blṓskō). It has also been connected with Latin remeligo, which may derive from *remellō.
