arunca

Where it comes from

Either from Latin ēruncāre or from a + Latin runcāre, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₃rewk-. Another theory proposes a Vulgar Latin *averruncāre (“to distance that which is bad”), which is less likely. Compare Aromanian aruc, arucari, Megleno-Romanian runc, Occitan arronçar, Spanish arrancar.
