[ˈnuː.tri.oː]

From Proto-Italic *snoutrjō, from Proto-Indo-European *snew-tr-ih₂ (“female nurser”), from a root *snew- (“to suckle”), which may be related to *(s)neh₂- (“to flow”). Cognate with Sanskrit प्रस्नौति (prasnauti, “to drip, to release liquids”), प्रस्नुत (prasnuta, “releasing mother's milk”). Appurtenance of Ancient Greek νάω (náō, “to flow, to stream”) is difficult and requires additional assumptions.
