Etymology
Seemingly from unguis m (“fingernail, talon”) + -ula (diminutive suffix), although it is not clearly diminutive in sense and its formation is irregular (a Latin diminutive normally matches the gender of the base noun). It may actually be inherited from a Proto-Indo-European formation such as *h₃n̥gʰ-l-h₂ that was created by attaching an l-suffix to this root early on, before Latin or Proto-Italic; compare Proto-Germanic *naglaz and other cognates listed at *h₃nṓgʰs.
