șopârlă
Romanian
Etymology
Older șopîrlă, influenced by șopîrcăi ‘to joke, be goofy’ and năpârcă ‘adder’, possibly from or cognate to Albanian (Tosk) shapinj ‘lizards’ (standard zhapinj), plural of shapi (standard zhapi) as a substratum word. Other less likely theories include a derivation of Ancient Greek σήψ (sḗps) or a Latin *sepinula.
