[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Italic *akupetros, from Proto-Indo-European *HHḱu-péth₂r̥, from *HéHḱus (“swift, quick”) + *péth₂r̥ (“feather, wing”) (compare penna). The geminate -cc- is perhaps influenced by accipiō (“take, seize”). Compare with the similarly constructed Ancient Greek ὠκύπτερος (ōkúpteros, “swift-winged”), Proto-Slavic *àstrę̄bъ.
