sutriballus

Latin

Etymology

Uncertain, but perhaps a corruption of *sūtribāiulus (cobbler’s porter) — originally denoting a cobbler’s assistant — from sūtor (cobbler) +‎ bāiulus (porter); for the reduction of the combining stem of sūtor from sūtōr- to sūtr-, compare sūtrīnus and sūtrīx (regular in the latter).
