語源

From Proto-Italic *bak-(k)-elo-, of uncertain origin. Probably loaned from a non-Indo-European substrate substrate. The term is possibly cognate with Proto-Slavic *bokъ, Proto-Celtic *bakkos, Ancient Greek βάκτρον (báktron), and Proto-Germanic *pagil (English peg). Based on these forms, the Proto-Indo-European root *bak- has been reconstructed. The term could be construed as a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *bak-tlom, although De Vaan postulates a pre-form *bak-k(e)los. See also beccus, Ancient Greek βακτηρία (baktēría).
