sutriballus

Latin

Etymology

Uncertain, but perhaps a corruption of *sūtribāiulus (“cobbler’s porter”) — originally denoting a cobbler’s assistant — from sūtor (“cobbler”) +‎ bāiulus (“porter”); for the reduction of the combining stem of sūtor from sūtōr- to sūtr-, compare sūtrīnus and sūtrīx (regular in the latter).
