Etimologia (Anglès)

Uncertain. The earlier form polcer is traditionally derived from Proto-Italic *porkros, from Proto-Indo-European *pr̥ḱ-ró-s or Proto-Indo-European *perḱ-ro-, from the root *perḱ- (“motley, variegated”), with dissimilation of the first *-r- into *-l-, though this has been challenged. Connection with poliō (“to polish, smooth”) or polleō (“to be strong”) is to be excluded.
The aspiration is often considered secondary when the word would have been made to derive from Ancient Greek πολύχροος (polúkhroos, “multicolor”) by folk etymology, while an Etruscan borrowing is usually discarded.
