Latin
Etymology
Unattested in Late Latin, from an unattested Germanic source (possibly Gothic *𐌺𐌰𐍂𐍀𐌰 (*karpa)). Surmised only from Old French carpe, Italian carpa.
Suggestions as to the further origin of the supposed Gothic word are speculative. It has been compared with Sanskrit शफर (śaphara), Welsh carp, Lithuanian šapalas. However, the un-shifted Germanic k suggests that the word entered Indo-European languages through Germanic and is ultimately from a non-Indo-European substrate native to the Alpine region and Danube basin.[1][2]
Noun
carpa f (genitive carpae); first declension
- (Late Latin) A carp (fish)
