Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *prōwinkjā. Equivalent to Proto-Indo-European *per- (“to go over”) and vincio (“I bind, tie up, fetter”). According to de Vaan, based on a Proto-Italic *prō-wink-jo- (“load, burden, charge; task”). Alternatively from pro- and vinco (“I win, conquer”). Alternatively, from Proto-Indo-European *proHwo- (“right judge, master”), and then cognate with Gothic 𐍆𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌾𐌰 (frauja, “lord, master”), Old English frēa (“ruler, lord, king, master”), Russian пра́вый (právyj, “right”), Polish prawo (“law”). Alternatively, from *prōv-inquos “vested with authority, having a right” from *prōvos “right, true”.
