texo
Latin
Etymology
From Proto-Italic *teksō, perhaps from either Proto-Indo-European *tḗtḱ-ti or from *teḱ-se-ti, both from *teḱ- (“to beget, produce”), or from *tek- (“to weave”), which may or may not be the same root.[1] Cognates include Armenian թեքել (tʿekʿel, “to bend”) and German Docht (“wick”).
Pronunciation
- (Classical) IPA(key): /ˈtek.soː/, [ˈt̪ɛks̠oː]
- (Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): /ˈtek.so/, [ˈt̪ɛkso]
Verb
