Pronounced as (IPA)
[ˈsɔ.ki.ʊs]
Etymology
From Old Latin sokios, from Proto-Italic *sokjos, from Proto-Indo-European *sokʷ-h₂-y-ós (“follower, companion”) (identical to Proto-Germanic *sagjaz), perhaps thematicized from collective *sokʷ-h₂-ṓy (compare Sanskrit सखि (sákhi, “companion”)), ultimately from the root *sekʷ- (“to follow”). Compare Faliscan socia (“girlfriend, companion”).
