Etymology

edit

Uncertain. Explanations include:[1]

  • From a formation equivalent to Proto-Indo-European *(s)kolh₂/₃-trom, from the root *(s)kelH- (to cut).
  • From the root *(s)ker- (to shear, cut off) to a preform *kor-tro- which has undergone dissimilation */rtr/ > /ltr/.

Both of the above etymologies assume a change in the suffix *-trom (and in gender), which otherwise would yield Latin *-trum.
