Pronunciato come (IPA)

[ˈae̯.kʊs]

From earlier aiquos (SCdB), for Proto-Italic *aikʷos or *aikwos, of unknown origin. Cf. however the Italic tribe Aequī, Aequīcolī (+ colere), and the placenames Aequum Tūticum (Samnium Hirpinum), Aequum Faliscum and Aequī Faliscī (Etruria), Superaequum (Samnium Paelignum), in some of which the noun aequum (“plain”), in others perhaps the adjective "razed" can be seen. Probably not related to Sanskrit ऐक्य (aikya, “concord, identity, sameness”).
