framea
Italian
Latin
Etymology
In Germania, Tacitus says that this word was the Germans' own name for their spears. As such, we can assume the word is from Proto-Germanic. However, the specific reconstruction is uncertain; the most accepted one being *framjō (“lance, spear, javelin”), perhaps related to Proto-Germanic *frankô (“javelin”) (see Frank).
