Pronounced as (IPA)

[ˈat.kʷɛ]

Etymology

Perhaps from Proto-Italic *at-kʷe or Proto-Italic *ad-kʷe. The term may be cognate with Umbrian 𐌀𐌐𐌄 (ape), although De Vaan considers this uncertain due to the different meanings of the terms. Alternatively, may be from ad (“to”) + -que (“and”) or from at (“yet, whereas”) + -que (“and”).
