[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain, could be a merger of two etymons:
- in the sense "fin", from Proto-Indo-European *(s)piHn- (“backbone, dorsal fin”), cognate to Old Irish ind (“end, point”), Tocharian A spin (“hook”), Sanskrit स्फ्य (sphyá, “splinter, staff”), English fin;
- in other senses, a dialectal form of penna with either pre-nasal (as in dignus) or post-labial (as in firmus) raising, from Proto-Italic *petnā, from Proto-Indo-European *péth₂r̥ ~ pth₂én- (“feather, wing”), from *peth₂- (“to fly”).
