[ˈplɪ.koː], [ˈpliː.ko]
OriginAccording to de Vaan, likely a back-formation from compound verbs formed from the stem *-plek-ā-, which themselves were likely formed from compound adjectives. Ultimately from the root Proto-Indo-European *pleḱ- (“to plait, to weave”) (with i from its compounds, which had much use), itself an extension of Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to wrap”). Cognate with plectō.
- conjugation-1, transitiveto fold, bend or flex; to roll up
- conjugation-1(transitive) to arrive (this meaning comes from sailors, for whom the folding of a ship’s sails meant arrival on land)
