cunctus
Latin
Etymology
- Some say contraction of *coiūnctus, making it a doublet of coniūnctus (“conjoined, connected”).
- Some say contraction of concitus.[1]
- Some refer it to Proto-Indo-European *ponkʷ-to- (“all, whole”). Confer Sanskrit पञ्च (pañca, “spread out”), Sanskrit प्रपञ्चन (prapañcana, “copiousness”). May be cognate with Hittite 𒉺𒀭𒆪𒍑 (pa-an-ku-uš, “family”) and Proto-Indo-European *pénkʷe (“whole hand, number five”).[2]
