Etymology

[edit]

FromSpanishanchoa, fromGenoeseLiguriananciôa or relatedCorsicananchjuva,anciua. The term's ultimate origin is unclear; some suggest it may have derived from an unattestedVulgar Latin term*apiuva, fromLatinaphyē,apua, fromAncient Greekἀφύη(aphúē) (which may be formed likeSanskritअभ्व(ábhva-,“monster”));[1] others suggest it comes fromBasqueantxu,anchu(“dried fish”), fromanchuva(“dry”),[2] if that Basque term is not itself derived from Latin via some intermediary.[3] None of these hypotheses is satisfactory because of the phonetic irregularities.
