The meaning and origin of Aquila

English

noun 3. a genus of Accipitridae

English

//ˈækwɪlə//

A summer constellation of the northern sky, said to resemble an eagle. It includes the star Altair.; An early Christian, the husband of Priscilla.

Etymology: From Latin aquila (“eagle”).

Spanish
name

Aquila (constellation)

Italian
noun
//ˈa.kwi.la//

eagle; eagle

Etymology: From Latin aquila.

Latin
noun
/[ˈa.kʷɪ.ɫa]/

eagle; the standard (of an eagle) carried by a Roman legion

Etymology: Of unknown origin, but probably related to aquilus (“blackish, the color of darkness”), thus a "dark bird". An alternative theory deriving the word from a supposed Proto-Italic *aku-(a)wi-lā-s (“swift little bird”), the first two components related to acus (“needle”) and avis (“bird”), the third a diminutive suffix *lā-, with similar formation to accipiter (“hawk”), is morphologically unlikely. Replaces Proto-Indo-European *h₃érō (“eagle”) due to taboo avoidance.
