Etymology

1. Etymology tree
2. Proto-Indo-European *stel-der.
3. Proto-Italic *stlokos?
4. Old Latin stlocus
5. Latin locus
6. Inherited from Old Latin stlocus, possibly from Proto-Italic *stlokos, from Proto-Indo-European *stel- (“to put, place, locate”). However, De Vaan is skeptical of this derivation due to the suffix *-okos not being attested in any other word, and leaves the origin open.
