From Old Latin populus (since mid-2nd c. BC), from earlier poplus, from even earlier poplos (attested already since early 5th c. BC), from Proto-Italic *poplos (“army”), further origin unknown; perhaps from Etruscan or from the root of pleō (Proto-Indo-European *pleh₁- (“to fill”)). See also plēbs, from the root of pleō.
