-plus

Latin

Etymology

From Proto-Italic *-plos, cognate with Ancient Greek -πλόος (-plóos) or -πλός (-plós) (as in διπλός (diplós)), the second element of Old Irish díabul (“double”)[1] and possibly Proto-Germanic *twīflaz (“doubt”). From an unclear root of the form *pl(H), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *pleh₁- (“to fill”) or Proto-Indo-European *pelh₂- (“to approach”)[1] or Proto-Indo-European *pel- (“to fold”), source of Proto-Germanic *-falþaz (“-fold”).[2] Compare also -plex.
